$_. Variables?

[RogerH]

Hi

I've allready searched the forum, the powershell reference and the online help as well, but without any luck so far
So, can someone please tell me, where i can find a complete list of all the $_. variables tha area available for Veeam powershell?

Thanks
Roger

Hi, Roger.

The variables of different type have different parameters; so, there is no universal approach in this case. The best idea to list all properties/methods of a given variable is to use Get-Member methods. For instance, let’s bind a backup job called “Backup Job 1” to variable $Job and see what parameters it contains:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin 
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Backup Job 2"
$Job | Get-Member 

As the result, you will see the following list:

Code: Select all

Name                         MemberType Definition

The same procedure can be applied to the other variables

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
