Get computer name inside Veam Protection groups

[Lucas_H]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a way in Powershell to get the name of the Physical server inside Computer groups.

My problem is that I have some Windows Agent Backup Job, one per client, with their physical servers inside a protection group.
I want to be able to retrieve these Jobs, and see which servers are inside the backup.

Do you know any way of doing this in Powershell ?
I already tried something like this :

Code: Select all

asnp veeampssnapin
$Jobs = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.TypetoString -eq "Windows Agent Backup"}
ForEach ($job in $jobs) {
    foreach ($object in $job.GetObjectsInJob()) { }

Getting the Job and then getting the Object inside, but I know that I need to go one level deeper as my servers are inside the protection group. And i have no clue how to do that.

Cheers,

I don't have a console at hand, but what if you get a Protection Group, using Get-VBRProtectionGroup cmdlet, and, then, check objects included in it ($Group.Container). Thanks!

Hello,

It indeed work, thanks for the help !

I did it like this:

Code: Select all

asnp veeampssnapin
$Groups = Get-VBRProtectionGroup
foreach ($Group in $Groups) {
    $Group.Name
    foreach ($object in $Group.Container) {$object}
}

But, when I created the Protection group, I added the servers with their IP and not by their DNS name, so with this script, I only get the IP and not the name like displayed in the B&R interfaces.
Do you know of any way to change this ?
Do I need to add the server in the Protection Groups with their DNS and then remove the record by their IP ?

Correct, objects are exposed in PowerShell exactly the way they've been added to backup console. Thanks!
