Duplicate restore points?

[efd121]

The script below is my starting point to collect the RPO window for each of my VM's.

My plan is to look at the last 2 restore points and report the time difference between them but I'm running into an issue where my script is reporting duplicate restore points.

I enabled encryption for my backup jobs on the 18th so I'm suspecting its not a coincidence that is when the duplicate restore points start occurring.

As expected a new backup chain was created after encryption was enabled. Should I manually delete the old backup files once I reach the 14 restore points with encryption or is there a better way to re-sync them?

Script

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

#$Jobs = Get-VBRJob | Sort-Object Name | ?{$_.JobType -eq "Backup"}
$Jobs = Get-VBRJob -Name "OperationsJob02"
foreach ($Job in $Jobs)
{
$JobObjects = Get-VBRJobObject -Job $Job
foreach ($VM in $JobObjects.Name)
{
$RestorePoints = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $VM | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending
Write-Host "Job="$Job.Name, "VM="$VM, "has", $RestorePoints.Count "restore points"
foreach ($RP in $RestorePoints)
{
Write-Host "Creation Data" $RP.CreationTime
}
}
}

Partial Output from script

Code: Select all

Job= OperationsJob02 VM= fwdws03 has 37 restore points

Hi,

Do you see duplicate restore points in VBR console as well?

Thank you.

[efd121]

I do not see them in the console. The console is showing 14 restore points but the script continues to show 28.

I think what I'm seeing is the restore points from both the Backup and Backup Copy jobs.

Assuming that is the case how can I tell which restore points are from the Backup Job and which are from the Backup Copy Job?

If I can determine which ones are from the Backup job I should be able to compare the most recent ones.

I looked through object returned from Get-VBRRestorePoint but I don't see anything that ties them to a specific repository.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You can actually find the info via some of the members. Maybe chaining the queries might not be the cleanest way to script it but just for your info
Repository:

Code: Select all

#name
$rp.GetRepository().Name
#server it is hosted on
$rp.GetRepository().GetHost().Name

Path:

Code: Select all

$rp.GetStorage().filepath

You can discover these fields by adding | gm after your object, this gives you all the possible methods and properties

Code: Select all

$rp | gm

[tdewin]

Forgot to add, the job itself

Code: Select all

$rp.GetSourceJob().Name

Thanks for all the replies, this should get me the information I'm looking for.
