retrieve the (real) bucket name with powershell

[AlexL]

Since the name of your Object Storage bucket does not have to be the same as the real bucket name in Wasabi, how do you retrieve the (real) bucket name with powershell?
Easiest would probably to get it from the path as shown in the GUI under Backup Infrastructure -> Object Storage and than use something like .Split("/")[3]
I haven't found a way yet, either for the bucket name or the path, am I missing something?

Hi Alex

I checked in my lab and splitting the path seems the only way to do it. Code doesn't look pretty, but works.

Code: Select all

Get-VBORepository | Where-Object { $_.ObjectStorageRepository -ne $NULL} | Select-Object name,@{Name="bucketname";Expression={$_.Path.split("(")[1].split("\")[0]}},@{Name="foldername";Expression={$_.Path.split("\")[1].split(")")[0]}} | Sort-Object bucketname

I was happy for a short time The path property of Get-VBORepository is the path to the local persistant cache, I need the path to object storage.
So not F:\ObjectRepo01 but something like amazonS3://s3.nl-1.wasabisys.com/01testbucket/Veeam/Backup365/backups where 01testbucket is the (real) bucket name and backups is the folder name.

Hi Alex

I run my script on version 8. Here it works with the path property.
I assume you are still using version 7? Version 8 does not have the local persistent cache as jet databases anymore.

yeah, v7, and considering the size of our installations we'll probably not be upgrading for a few months
