All job properties in output file?

[hansbaars]

Hello,

Maybe there is someone who already found out how to get output of a VBR Backup job?
Instead of editing job properties I would like to see which VM's are backed up, amount of restore points etcetera.

Anyone wanted to do the same?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Use the search for more specific examples, but you'll want to use Get-VBRJobOptions cmdlet to get the job options (retention, etc).

As for VMs backed up, two ways:

1. Use one of the GetObjectsInJob() methods on a VBR job object from Get-VBRJob. This has some flaws as if you use containers (e.g., tags), it won't resolve the VMs under the tag, just the container itself
2. Use the Get-VBRBackup and Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlets to see what has been actually backed up. I find this is a lot more reliable as it tells you exactly what you have, and the latter is likely what you're wanting and you can compare it to the desired retention

Play with these a bit and search the forums for examples.
