Cant get schedule of backup that runs after another backup

[dieterbocklandt]

Hi,

I'm working on a script that gives me all schedules of all our backup jobs. That works fine for now, only backup jobs that are scheduled to run after another job pose a problem. I cant seem to get the "parent" job out of the Powershell API. The only thing I've found is the OptionsScheduleAfterJob property, but that only contains a boolean.

Is there anyway I can get this information?

Thanks!
Dieter

Hi,

I think that this is what you need:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\PTide> $job1 = Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 3"
PS C:\Users\PTide> $job1.PreviousJobIdInScheduleChain

Guid
----
76beb3a2-8574-439a-936d-aba98c6fb957

Using the output of the last command you can get the previous job's properties.

Exactly the thing I was looking for! Thanks a lot for for the fast answer!

When I finally finish the script, I'll share it with the rest of the community.

Thanks,
Dieter
