v12.1 powershell module SureBackup object types

[jcolonfzenpr]

Happy Holidays,

With the 12.1 version of the powershell module, the "Get-VBRSureBackupJob" cmdlet includes two types of object definition:

1. TypeName: Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Infos.VBRViSureBackupJob
2. TypeName: Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Infos.VBRSureBackupContentScanJob

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\jocolon>

Frankly I have never seen this type of situation and my question is, how do I differentiate between the two?

I know I can monkey patch a solution because the SureBackup platform lacks a Virtual Lab and Application Pool, but looking in the Veeam console there are three types of SureBackup working platform.

1. VMware
2. Hyper-V
2. SureBackup



Is there a property value on the object that store the value of the platform or a job type?

Hi Jonathan,

Although SureBackup job objects don't hold type properties, you can differentiate them by calling .GetType() on each job instance and then write your logic around it. Example:

Code: Select all

$jobs = Get-VBRSureBackupJob
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
  $jobType = $job.GetType()
  $job | select Name, @{n='Type';e={$jobType}}
}

Best regards,
Oleg
