list of VMs from a job that has not been started

[Kazz]

Hi,

Is it possible to get a list of VMs from a job that never ran?

Thanks

Hi Kazz

Yes, use this endpoint from the Backup Server API: https://<VBR Server>/api/v1/jobs/{id}

Your output should contain information about included + excluded VMs:

Code: Select all

"virtualMachines": {
   "includes": [
      {
         "inventoryObject": {
         "type": "VirtualMachine",
         "hostName": "172.17.52.34",
         "name": "srv45",
         "objectId": "vm-61281"
   },
   "size": "152.5 GB"
   }
   ]

Best,
