Unable to view the Veeam backup settings using PowerShell?

[albertwt]

Hi Folks,

When using Veeam Backup PowerShell command:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Get-VBRJobOptions

This is all I got when using the simple command

Code: Select all

Options                     : Veeam.Backup.Common.CDomContainer
GfsPolicy                   : Veeam.Backup.GFS.Model.DOM.CDomGfsPolicy

ReIPRulesOptions            : 
BackupStorageOptions        : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomBackupStorageOptions
BackupTargetOptions         : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomBackupTargetOptions
VmbSourceOptions            : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomVmbSourceOptions
HvSourceOptions             : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomHvSourceOptions
JobOptions                  : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomJobOptions
ViNetworkMappingOptions     : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomViNetworkMappingOptions
HvNetworkMappingOptions     : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomHvNetworkMappingOptions
NotificationOptions         : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomNotificationOptions
JobScriptCommand            : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomJobScriptCommand
VcdReplicaTargetOptions     : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomVcdReplicaOptions

ViCloudReplicaTargetOptions : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomViCloudReplicaTargetOptions
EpPolicyOptions             : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomEpPolicyOptions
NasBackupRetentionPolicy    : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomNasBackupRetentionPolicy
NasBackupOptions            : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomNasBackupOptions
RpoOptions                  : Veeam.Backup.Model.CDomRpoOptions
VmbJobOptions               : 
IsBackupCopyGfsEnabled      : False

Is there a way to query the Backup Job options/properties using the PowerShell cmdlet?

Because on this page: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
I cannot find the corresponding cmdlet to retrieve the email notification values using get-vbrjobadvancednotificationoptions

Thank you in advance.

Hello Albert

Have you already tried to dive in further in NotificationOptions (select -ExpandProperty NotificationOptions)?

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup -name JobName | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name | Get-VBRJobOptions | select -ExpandProperty NotificationOptions

This gives me the output you have requested:

Code: Select all

SnmpNotification                          : False
SendEmailNotification2AdditionalAddresses : False
EmailNotificationAdditionalAddresses      :
UseCustomEmailNotificationOptions         : False
EmailNotifyOnceADay                       : False
EmailNotifyTime                           : 22.02.2019 22:00:00
EmailNotificationSubject                  : [%JobResult%] %JobName% (%VmCount% machines) %Issues%
EmailNotifyOnSuccess                      : True
EmailNotifyOnWarning                      : True
EmailNotifyOnError                        : True
EmailNotifyOnLastRetryOnly                : True
EmailNotifyOnWaitingTape                  : True
LastReportTime                            :
LastAdditionalReportTime                  :

Best,
Fabian

Ah yes, thanks @FabianK for the update.

@Mildur,

I have the code like:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup | ForEach-Object {
	$job = $_
	$job.Name | Get-VBRJobOptions | Select-Object -ExpandProperty NotificationOptions | Select-Object -Property `
		@{n='Job Name'; e={$job.'Name'}},
		@{n='Job Type'; e={$job.'Type'}},
		@{n='Creation Time'; e={$job.'CreationTime'}},
		@{n='VM Count'; e={$job.'VM count'}},
		*
}

However, the Job Type is always showing as empty, am I missing something here?

[Mildur]

Hi Albert

The following changes must be done
- $job.'Type' = $job.'TypeToString'
- $job.'VM count' = $job.'VMcount'

Try this code:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup | ForEach-Object {
	$job = $_
	$job.Name | Get-VBRJobOptions | Select-Object -ExpandProperty NotificationOptions | Select-Object -Property `
		@{n='Job Name'; e={$job.'Name'}},
		@{n='Job Type'; e={$job.'TypeToString'}},
		@{n='Creation Time'; e={$job.'CreationTime'}},
		@{n='VM Count'; e={$job.'VMcount'}},
		*
}

Best,
Fabian

I agree, @Mildur.

That makes more sense, actually.
I appreciate the correction and update.
