Could we stop restoring VM by PS?

[Cathy]

We want to stop restoring VMs. Now we try to use "Remove-VBRRestoreSession" to do it.
However, we try:
1. Get-VBRRestoreSession -Name "zhouzhengguang"|select -last 1|Remove-VBRRestoreSession
2. $session=Get-VBRRestoreSession -Name "zhouzhengguang"|select -last 1
Remove-VBRRestoreSession -Session $session
both get "This cmdlet is obsolete" .

We use Veeam B&R v7 with patch 4. From document, we know Remove-VBRRestoreSession should work with this version. Or we should use other cmdlet? (Or, could we stop restoring VM by powershell?)

You should use Stop-VBRWindowsfilerestore commandlet. In order to stop restore session, you should execute restore from PS first and assign the resulting session to a variable.

Thanks.

Is there any way to close restore session which is started from GUI?

[veremin]

I'm afraid, no. The Windows FLR session should be executed first via PS and assigned to a variable. Thanks.

Hi, I'd also like to be able to run Stop-VBRWindowsFileRestore on a restore that was started from the GUI
If an admin starts a restore from the GUI and forgets to close it it is stopping parts of my powershell scripts from running.
Is there already a feature request for this.

There is a system variable called $FLRSessions. Using it, you can list of all currently running FLR sessions and, then, stop required ones with Stop-VBRWindowsFileRestore cmdlet. Thanks.

Is there a link to information on how to use $FLRSessions
I have tried running this powershell command and it returns nothing

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapin
Connect-VBRServer -Server 'localhost'
$FLRSessions

[veremin]

Sorry, I have provided a bit misleading information. $FLRSessions do not reflect sessions started from GUI, only sessions executed within PS console.

So, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to achieve what you are after.

Thanks.

Ah bugga, that's annoying, i was excited for a sec.

This request has been there for a while. Based on preliminary technical expertise, adding corresponding cmdlet didn't not seem like a trivial task, so we postponed the implementation.

Thank you for the feedback, though, much appreciated.
