check absent secondary backup destination

[real_tarantoga]

Hello,
all our VBRJobs are automatically created by veeamPSSnapin Cmdlets. There is a manually created copy job (SimpleBackupCopyPolicy).
Now I need to identify, which newly created jobs are not linked to a secondary repository.
The aim will be to add these new jobs to the simplebackupcopy job (manually, because not all jobs should be duplicated to this target).

I'm not aware of the corresponding Joboptions value, where this information is stored.
Could anyone tell me for which "$job.sub.optionname" I have to look?

Thank you a lot in advance!
Stefan

Hi,

I'm sorry, did you mean secondary repository or a linked job as a secondary target?
If you meant secondary repository, which job types you refer to?

Thanks!

hello oleg!
i'm looking for a field/value where the second backup repository is stored or a value storing the information that a backup copy job is available.
so I can identify all backup jobs without a secondary backup destination (added while the backup copy job configuration).

Thank You!
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Maybe the others have a better way of doing this, but I see two ways.

1. Backup Jobs seem to have a LinkJobIDs property for Backup Copies and Tape jobs (though I'm not sure this works for Immediate, at least in my lab I couldn't seem to pull it). I suppose you'd pull these IDs, then diff the array of Backup Job IDs against the LinkedJobIDs.
2. A longer way would also be comparing Backups between the two, and find any jobs that seem to not have a backup copy counterpart.

Thank you for Your repy!
That's what I hoped to find, but I'm not able to identify the value containing the information.
$job.LinkedJob(Id) is empty in the backup job and in the backup copy job as well.

Hello,
there is at minimum one solution for me in the veeam ONE reporting: "veeam backup assessment\VMs with no archive copy"; here are the VMs listed with their secondary repository. I didn't check all the reports for now. Perhaps there is another report, I will check them all over time ...
It would be nice to know, which option value stores this information, but as I need this only to add manually new jobs to the copy tasks, this is sufficient.

Thank you!
Stefan

Edit: as a german proverb says: sometimes you can not see the forest due to all the trees ...
the solution is really simple: the cmdlet compare-object gives me the difference between existing folder names on primary and secondary repository

Glad you could sort it all out. Thanks!
