Start-VBRZip in Veeam Backup Free Edition

[veremin]

I cancelled at this point, every VM fails the same.

You should change this line:

Code: Select all

$ZIPSession = Start-VBRZip -Entity $VMName ...

To

Code: Select all

$ZIPSession = Start-VBRZip -Entity $VM ...

You're trying to pass a string object, while Entity parameter excepts IItem one. Thus, the issue.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the fast response. I was dumb, i modified the encrypted case and my backups are non-encrypted so... my fault.

Now powershell does not throw errors, but the final mail im receiving says i don't have permissions:

Code: Select all

Processing finished with errors at 07/10/2015 11:15:55 Task failed. Failed to expand object 2012R2HATHOR. Error: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

What more do i need to do? My Hyper-V credentials works fine in the GUI.

[veremin]

Hmm, did a VeeamZIP finish successfully or not? What error is reported in GUI? Are you able to initiate a VeeamZIP task against a given VM in GUI? Will not that result in a similar issue, if you let it run for some time?

[gotxi]

You are right, now it gives me the same error on the GUI:

Code: Select all

I deleted and readded my credentials and now the GUI works again, but when launched via powershell, now throws me this:

After update 2 I get this error regarding registry access, I think it is fairly simple to fix but I do not know which keys are affected:

Could anyone comment on this please? Already updated to powershell ISE

I deleted and readded my credentials and now the GUI works again, but when launched via powershell, now throws me this:

The system cannot find the path specified. Failed to create or open file [Z:\Backup_2012R2HATHOR_2015-10-07T154726.vbk 

Nevermind, i followed this post and changed my mapped drive to the full path and now it works. Thanks anyway!

I think the cause is account lacking required permissions, try to either run a script as an administrator or create self-elevating script. Thanks.

Any ideas?

I am using a vpshere with 2 vmware nodes running in cluster and the server $HostName = "vmware" is the vsphere server

[veremin]

Under which name the given host is added to a backup server? What happens if you run just these lines:

Code: Select all

$HostName = "vmware"
Get-VBRServer -name $HostName

Will the code return the said server?

[johnfistikis]

I am not sure what exactly you mean. I have added "vmware" in hosts file in order to point to the vsphere server IP. When I run the two commands that you wrote in PS I dont get any errors but I dont get any reply too

[veremin]

I meant you have to add it to the backup console in order to be able to backup VMs residing on it. Is that the case?



Thanks.

Vladimitr thank you for your time

[veremin]

Since you've enabled email notification, you have to fill all the variables present in the corresponding section (Notification settings), namely:

Code: Select all

# Email SMTP server
$SMTPServer = ""

# Email FROM
$EmailFrom = ""

# Email TO
$EmailTo = ""

# Email subject
$EmailSubject = ""

Thanks.

it works fine now, thank you.

You're welcome. Should other inquiry regarding scripting arise, don't hesitate to let me know.

well it did I created the scheduled task based on your instructions and I am receiving a Last run result

On the veeam history I dont see any actions

[veremin]

What happens if you run this script manually, using administrator account?

[johnfistikis]

What happens if you run this script manually, using administrator account?

it works fine

[veremin]

Then, it seems that account used to run scheduled task lacks required permissions. Also, it might be worth checking under which account VB&R service is executed. Thanks.

[johnfistikis]

Then, it seems that account used to run scheduled task lacks required permissions. Also, it might be worth checking under which account VB&R service is executed. Thanks.

I am running the task using the same user I am running the ps1 script. I changed all service accounts of VB&R to the same user, but no luck...

[veremin]

You mean if you execute the very same task manually, using the said account, everything will be ok, but when you run via Task Scheduler, it doesn't seem to work, right? If so, can you enable "Run with the highest privileges" option in the Task properties and see whether it helps or not? Thanks.

[Badger101]

I am looking on how to import the Start-VBRzip into powershell. Powershell doesn't reconize the get-VBRServer command or any for that matter. I didn't the commandlet in the program files folder either.

[Badger101]

I have grabbed the script, but it seems powershell isn't aware of the get-VBRzip command. Where do I get that to import it into powershell? I am currently running powershell 4.0.

the problems is the exact one that you describe, I have tried running with highest privileges but it wont work. I have tried changing the script to "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe –file “c:\veaam.ps1”" it wont work either.

I found the speficic APPID which is the Immersive Shell Broker and it does not allow me to change security settings. I am working on that now

During product installation make sure to install VB&R PS snap-in. Afterwards, you should add it to current PS session, using Add-PSSnapin:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin

Don't forget to install update 2 to let Start-VBRZIP command work with free product edition.

Thanks.

[johnfistikis]

I already did, thats why it works when I manually run the script

[veremin]

Actually, John, I quoted @Badger101 and tried to provide a solution for his problem.

As to your issue, I still believe that it is solely related to absence of required permissions, and might be addressed by granting those via adjusting DCOM config.

Thanks.
