Feature request : display the VBR version installed by the service provider in the console

[william88]

Hi,

Each time we need to update our VBR server, we need to check with our service provider to find out which version is installed on their infrastructure to ensure that the update is compatible.

Would it be possible to display the VBR version used by the service provider in the console ?

Thanks

Hi William

Thank you for the request. We will think about it.

The upgrade wizard itself will warn you if the service provider has an unsupported version. Let me check with the team if you can query this information somehow outside of the upgrade process.

Best,
Fabian

Hi Mildur,

Thank tou for your reply.

I know from an old ticket (#05190892) that this information can be found in the job logs at this location %programdata%\Veeam\Backup\Job_name\job.jobname.log but this is not very user friendly

Hi William

My colleague @david.domask shared a PowerShell workaround (with unsupported methods). You can use this command on the tenant backup server to retrieve the version information from the database:

Code: Select all

$provider = Get-VBRCloudProvider -Name "DNS-Name of provider"
[Veeam.backup.Core.CCloudProvider]::Find($provider[0].id) | Select-Object Name,ProductVersion

Hi Mildur,

Many thanks to you and to @david.domask for this much simpler solution than a search in the logs !

Best,
