Monitoring VEEAM Backup Agent

[DanCasan]

Hi all,
I have a workstation with the VEEAM Backup agent (6) installed and configured to use a repository on my VEEAM Backup & Replication centralized server, the backup is scheduled (and started) workstation side. The backup is running and i can see the session in console.
If i try to list with powershell all sessions of the last 24 hour the workstation backup is not in the list (i think is because formally is not a session of the backup server).
Is there a way to have a list also of this type of backup? The backup server have a trace of the run, i can see it in console.

Hi DanCasan,

I've moved your topic to our Powershell forum as it's more about Powershell.

Can you share your code you used and which cmdlets you tried to retrieve it with?

I'm not confident we have support for this with Powershell, the session data you see in the UI is kind of unique if I remember right and even with unsupported methods, I'm not quickly finding how to report on it.

Is there a reason to go with Standalone Agent here instead of a managed agent from VBR? The cmdlets will work with managed agent backups, so mostly just curious if there's a need for standalone here.

The standalone solution is already installed and i switched only the repo to my backup server. We want to use this becaue if we will have problems, for example connection issue, we can use a local repo, next to the workstation to continue with the backup

Your usecase is understood, but I guess I'd still advise a managed agent and rely on the Backup Cache for such scenarios when the connection to the primary repository is unavailable.

Ultimately your goal is understood, but no supported means of retrieving this information via Powershell at this time with the current configuration, use of managed agents is going to be best here.
