get-VBRFilesInRestorePoint freeze

[BigGeorge]

hi all,

I've a problem with Get-VBRFilesInRestorePoint, this is my script (Veeam 6.5.0.106)

Code: Select all

$VeeamJob =  Get-VBRJob | where { $_.Name -eq "Test01" }
$MyRestorePoint = Get-VBRBackup | where { $_.JobId -eq $VeeamJob.Id } | Get-VBRRestorePoint | sort CreationDate -Descending | select -First 1
$MyFiles = Get-VBRFilesInRestorePoint $MyRestorePoint

The script freeze at the last step ...

Anyone can help me?

The goal is to retrieve the backup files (to copy them)

Thank you

It works fine for me, but I'm not sure this is exactly what you are looking for anyway. The cmdlet will list the files that are stored in the backup chain, thus it will list the .vmx, .vmdk, etc. It sounds like you are simply wanting to copy the backup files themselves (i.e. the VBK/VIB files), not the files that are contained within those backup files.

Also, unless you have only a single VM in each job the above script will be somewhat "random" since it will only return the very last OIB in the job, which, for a job with multiple VMs, would only be the very last VM in the job.

Thank you,
you're right: after reboot Veeam repository server the command work well, but this command retrieve the vmWare files that the job has saved, not the backup files!

Thank you

if you are needing to see the backup files, use Get-VBRBackup and do a | GM on the object, it should have a method that allows you to get the backup files.

So:
Get-VBRBackup -name "my backup name" | gm

Read the list and you should see one.
