Hi team,
It is possible show the "file copy" sessions? As the guide says, the cmdlet "Get-VBRSession" does not return sessions for VM copy and file copy jobs.
Thanks,
Regards.

Re: File Copy Sessions
Hi scrat,
That's kind of interesting note in the User Guide; I'm not sure why it's there as you can clearly pass the type "Copy" to Get-VBRSession -Type and it will return sessions:
I will write our Technical Writer Team and ask them to clarify that statement, it's possible there's some nuance here we're not understanding but it definitely looks like it's working. Are you seeing unexpected results in your environment when you're testing?

Re: File Copy Sessions
Nice work David! It's working! And yes, it's neccesary modify the following doc:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... 0Important
Consider the following:
This cmdlet does not return sessions for VM copy and file copy jobs.
To get tape backup job sessions, tun the Get-VBRTapeBackupSession cmdlet.
Thank you very much,
Regards.

Re: File Copy Sessions
Glad it's working for you, but I will follow up in this topic when I hear from our Technical Writers; perhaps there is a nuance we aren't aware of, but at first blush looks like it works just fine.
