Upgrade from v5 to v7

[EBoucq]

Hi,

I'd like to upgrade my Veeam B & R v5.0.2.230 to the new v7
I've read I have to first upgrade it to the v6. When I read the v5 to v6 upgrade procedure. It says "Re-run all of your jobs and make sure they complete successfully". But the reason why I want to upgrade my actual version is because I have a failed backup that Veeam support can't help me with unless I first upgrade B & R !!!

What should I do ?

Last question: how can I be sure my license is valid for an upgrade to the v7 ?

Thanks !
Eric

Hi Eric, in that case you will need to deploy brand new v7 installation, and re-create all your jobs there. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks!

Hi Gostev,

Thanks for your answer.
As my jobs contain lots of VMs with disk exclusions for each of them. Is there a way to run a sql select command so I could at least print out a list of those exclusions ?

Thank you.

Assuming that you have VB&R PowerShell snap-in installed, it might be possible to write a script that gets a list of backup jobs, as well as, the disk exclusions the jobs have. Thanks.

I'm not sure what particular script should be used in case of version 5, but in case of version 7 the following script should to the trick:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
Get-VBRJob | ? {$_.jobtype -eq "Backup"} | Select-Object -Property @{N="Job Name";E={$_.name}}, @{N="VMs";E={$_.GetViOijs().name}}, @{N="Disk Exclussions";E={$_.GetViOijs().info.diskfilter}} | Format-List

Thanks.

This script doesn't seem to work in v5 unfortunately. It returns nothing.
Thanks anyway

Hmmm, what about this script:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
Get-VBRJob | Select-Object -Property @{N="Job Name";E={$_.name}}, @{N="VMs";E={$_.GetObjectsInJob().name}}, @{N="Disk Exclussions";E={$_.GetObjectsInJob().info.diskfilter}} | Format-List

Thanks.

mmmm better since I'm getting information but not the right ones
Exemple:
Job Name : <name> OK
VMs: blank Not OK
Disk Exclusions: blank Not OK

thanks

Strange. According to the v5 User Guide, .GetObjectsinJob parameter should be present. Anyway, can you tell what parameters a certain job has? You can check it by running the following command:

Code: Select all

$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your Job"
$Job | Get-Member

Thanks.
