Need a script to find change data per harddisk

[Shaft]

I am looking for a script to tell me how many Harddisks I a backing up and how much change data they are backing up for each job. I am not very good at scripting but I have made a few. This one however is stumping me...


Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Vince,
Here is a topic describing how to list disks in the backup. And Veeam One VM Change Rate History report which shows historical information on VMs disks change rate.
Thanks!

Hi,

Here is how you can get info about what disks are in the restore point (names and identifiers has been changed for security reasons). In a listing below you can find .vmdk names. The example given in this thread provides you with info which SCSI nodes are included in the backup whereas the listing below shows you which .vmdk are present in the RP. By default all nodes are included (empty too).

Code: Select all

BTW, what are you trying to accomplish with such script?

[PTide]

how much change data they are backing up for each job

Not sure whether you need "per disc" value or total, but I can give you an example of how to obtain the latter:

Assume you have a job named "script":

Code: Select all

$allSessions = Get-VBRBackupSession
$getOne = $allSessions | ? {$_.JobName -eq "script"}
$transfer = $null
$getOne | %{$transfer += $([Math]::Round([Decimal]$_.Progress.TransferedSize/1GB, 2))}
echo $transfer

The output will show you the total amount transferred for the "script" job in GB, two decimal places.
