Get Active Full Days from BackupSync Job

[manuel.aigner]

Hi there,

I tinker around on some management tools to ease our administrative tasks. One of them is to get a configuration list of all jobs.
At the moment I've got the problem that I can't find the correct sub property with the set active full day value. We make AFs on a monthly base.
For normal Backupjobs I found the property ->
Get-VBRJob | $_.BackupTargetOptions.FullBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions.DayOfWeek and $_.BackupTargetOptions.FullBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions.DayNumberInMonth

This props also exits for Backup Copy Jobs. But the values which I get are incorrect and not the same I can see in GUI.

We are using the latest Veeam B&R 9.5 Build.

Any suggestions?

I don't have a console handy, so cannot say exactly where those properties are located, but I'd start from searching GenerationPolicy options:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your backup copy job"
$Options = $Job.GetOptions()
$Options.generationPolicy

Thanks!

Hi Vladimir,
many thanks. I think that's working.
I found out It's also possible to get the property without using a method $job.options.generationpolicy...

Good to know, but for backup copy jobs most of information regarding simple and GFS retention schemes is present inside the given option group (GenerationPolicy). So, if I were automating something for this matter, I'd stick to it without any alternative (as otherwise I might get unreliable or misleading information). Thanks!
