Check if Recovery Media is created

Post by apronk »

Hi!

I would like to find out wether the recovery media is created or not.
I could not find anything in the SQLite Database, like BJobs can be used to check if a Job is configured.
Is there any way to detect this?

With regards,

Arend

Hello,
the agent shows a banner when it wasn't created. If you don't find it in the SQLite database, then I would search through c:\programdata\veeam\

Notepad++ result for "find in files" for "recovery media"

Code: Select all

  C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Endpoint\UI.RecoveryImageWizard.log (2 hits)
	Line 901: [17.03.2023 07:09:00] <10> Info     [CCopyCryptoKeysFileAction] No need to include crypto keys to recovery media
	Line 1320: [17.03.2023 07:10:05] <10> Info     [TaskLog] 'Recovery media has been created' append, OrdinalId 193, Status ESucceeded, Desc ''
Best regards,
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

Thanks! But there must be some way this can be checked through SQLite DB or Registry?
I could not find anything in the registry either, it follows logic that the banner is presented if Veeam Agent itself reads this information somewhere, right?

Found it.
The "banner" and the warning about the recovery media not being created is dependant on the REG_SZ Name: RecoveryMediaVersion with Value "10.0"
Which is located in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Endpoint Backup

So I only have to check if the value exists, if so recovery media is created, if it does not exist, it is not created.

With regards,

Arend
