Checking open session guest files restore

[MonahovAA]

Good afternoon.

We have a problem with backup job because often dont close session "guest files restore".
So we want script which can check open session and send about this e-mail before start backup job.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, for now you cannot get FLR restore sessions via PowerShell. At least I'm not aware of a way to achieve that goal. Thanks.

Hmm, I have a few ideas about this but I need to go prove them out first.

With v9 (and I think v8 as well) the following should return the active File/Application level restore sessions:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRRestoreSession | ?{$_.JobType -like "*LevelRestore" -and $_.State -eq "Working"}

The job types are:
FileLevelRestore
LinuxFileLevelRestore
ApplicationLevelRestore

So you can just change the -like comparison if you want to only return those session types. Then you can grab the session information and send your email.

It must have been added in version 8, indeed. And this fact has slipped from my mind.

I apologize for misguidance.

Thanks.
