Get Immutability Settings

[SkyDiver79]

Hello,
is there a way to read the immutable settings of a repository?

If I use:
Get-VBRbackupRepository -Name *RepoName* | fl

then I only get :
IsImmutabilitySupported : True

but I would have liked to query the days configured.

Thanks

Hi,

You can find this info applying GetImmutabilitySettings() method on a repository instance:

Code: Select all

$repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name '*RepoName*'
$repo.GetImmutabilitySettings()

Thanks,
Oleg

This doesn't seem to work on a scaleout repository.
How does one obtain these settings on a scaleout repo?

We'd like to monitor if immutability is enabled

Code: Select all

$repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -scaleout -name "redacted"
$repo
$repo.GetImmutabilitySettings()

Hi @ronaldw,

When you add the -Scaleout flag, Get-VBRBackupRepository returns a VBRScaleOutBackupRepository instead of CBackupRepository object.

You need to pull the repositories from the Extent property of the VBRScaleOutBackupRepository object, and then use that method on those objects.

Thank you.

If someone ever reads this thread and needs this:
This code works.

Code: Select all

$repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -scaleout

foreach ($r in $repo.Extent) {
    $r.repository.getimmutabilitysettings()
}
