Get Backups' size from Back up to Tape job

[CorruptedBackup]

Hi all,

Im creating a powershell script to retrieve all the info as shown in the GUI of the Backup To Tape jobs.

I have a problem getting the info of the backups' size in the "Backups" section of the GUI.

I can get the size using the:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup (Get-VBRBackup -Name $bkpToTape.Object.Name)

And then calculating the sum.

But another problem arises is when in the GUI the selected job's backups includes only the latest chain of backups, not all the chains. So that means a different size than when using the

Code: Select all

Get-VBRRestorePoint

.

The problem is that the size as in the GUI cannot be retrieved directly from the object:

Code: Select all

(Get-VBRTapeJob -Name "test job").Object.Size

One can get only the Name and the Type.

Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi @CorruptedBackup,

Just to confirm, you want the total size of the objects added to a tape job, or the total size of all backups currently written to tape?

Hey @david.domask
I would like to get the size of the backups as shown in the GUI.

Hi @CorruptedBackup, no, understood you want it from the UI, but from where in the UI?

The sum of the the value shown here in the UI: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
Or the size of the backup files on the tape(s) already as from here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120

???

Hi David,

as show in the first link you sent:


you see the backup: File Server Backup Job

using powershell I can get the backup's Name and Type but not the size (13.1 GB as shown), which is what i need.
