Reporting on Replication Elapsed Time

[jkettler]

Hi there. I am looking for a report to gather the elapsed times for my replication jobs. Hoping to get an idea of what sort of Recovery Point Objectives I can meet with different throttling settings. Is there a way to get that? Thanks!

Hi, you can use either job statistics, HTML reports (see User Guide, page 296, for more info) or Veeam ONE to review this information. Hope this helps!

The user guide only goes up to page 249? We are using Hyper-V and Veeam Essentials.

Statistics:
Right-click job -> Statistics

HTML-report:
Right-click job -> Report

Detailed information about Veeam One options can be found in the corresponding User Guide (User Guide for Microsoft Hyper-V Environments).

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I got VeeamOne working but I need to summarize and report on replication times specifically during business hours over a period of time. Looks like that functionality doesn't exist. Thanks, though.

You should be able to get at the data via Powershell. That's probably your best bet. I can try to hack something up if you're interested.

That'd be cool if you have the know-how! I don't do much with Powershell outside of some Exchange stuff.

Basically I want to find the elapsed time for all replications (we have 3 replication jobs) from 7:00AM to 5:00PM each weekday. Based on those numbers we want to throttle the bandwidth for replication as much as possible but stay within the RPO (4 hours).

[tsightler]

Do you need the elapsed time for each VM in the job, or just the entire job? I guess this might be same if each job is only a single VM.

[jkettler]

I have each VM in its own replication job. The first starts hourly and then the next is scheduled to start after that, then the next after that.

I see in Veeam ONE Monitor > Data Protection View > Backup Infrastructure that the default view shows the average duration of each replication job for last month. I would like the ability to break that down to 7AM-5PM, Monday through Friday for the last month, week, etc.

Currently reporting period is not adjustable, but thanks for the feedback.

[jkettler]

Indeed. The people I work for would love to see proof of replication bandwidth and results all pretty-like!
