Backupfile full or synthetic full?

[masonit]

Hi!

I am using below command to get all backupfiles for a job. Is there a way to see if a vbk file is an "normal" full vbk or and synthetic full vbk?

(get-vbrbackup | Where-Object JobName -eq "job name").GetAllChildrenStorages()

Hi Magnus,

Try this:

Code: Select all

$storages = (get-vbrbackup | Where-Object JobName -eq "job name").GetAllChildrenStorages()
$storages | select PartialPath, IsFull, IsFullFast 

IsFullFast property stands for synthetic fulls.

Best regards,
Oleg

Hi

I have looked at that property. But all my vbk files has IsFullFast = True. Even if a run an active full backup. The new backup files is IsFullFast = True..

Hi Magnus,

You are right, it was a bit hasty of me to consider that IsFullFast stands for synth fulls. I can see now in my labs also that it equals to true even for active fulls. Then I suppose not much we can do here currently except for searching for session algorithms and correlating session data with created storages, but it requires correlating by creation and queued times, which is very implicit.

Best regards,
Oleg
