Possible replacement for soon to be deprecated PS command

Post by HangTen »

We are in the process of retiring some S3 compatible storage and when we looked at the storage consumed on the array and the storage reported consumed by VB365 (the storage is used solely for VB365 backups), we noticed a big discrepancy. In the console and when running Get-VBORepository in PS, we don't see any repositories starting with "n" but when we run:

Code: Select all

Get-VBOObjectStorageRepository -Name n* | Select Name
I can see the warning below and results.

Code: Select all

WARNING: The Get-VBOObjectStorageRepository cmdlet became deprecated. Use the Get-VBORepository cmdlet instead. The cmdlet may not be supported in future versions of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
Without this tool, there would have been no way to know these orphaned folders were there taking up space. Is there a plan to have this functionality in another command or to allow these orphaned repositories to be accessible through the console (or both)?

Thanks,

Hin

Hi Hin,

To be honest, this sounds more like a bug that shouldn't occur at all.
A customers shouldn't have to run a cmdlet for regular manual scans; it should "just work" and everything should be cleaned up automatically after repository removal.

Have you contacted our customer support team about your findings? If so, could you please share the case number?

Best,
Fabian
