Get increment attached to full backup

Post by cerede2000 »

Hello,

I find the last full backup of job with :

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup -Name '<Job Name>' | Get-VBRRestorePoint | ?{$_.Type -eq 'Full'} | Sort-Object -Descending CreationTime | Select-Object -First 1
And now I want list all increment wich attached at this full backup.

Please help me.

Thanks.

You mean you're using forward incremental mode and willing to list all increments that are dependent on that full backup? Thanks.

I make full backup once day by week.
Between full make incremental.

Then, the following script should be helpful:

Code: Select all

$LastFull = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Name of your Job" | Get-VBRRestorePoint | where {$_.type -eq "Full"} | Sort creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1 
Get-VBRBackup -Name "Name of your Job" | Get-VBRRestorePoint | where {$_.Creationtime -ge $LastFull.CreationTime} | Sort creationtime
The script will list the latest full backup along with the latest increments dependent on it.

Thanks.

Thanks :)

I saw that there was ParentID.
The increments have it in the full Id ParentID ?

Edit : Because when I get backup chain (full+increment linked) between two full it's not work :(

I got confused, since you were talking about the last full backup.

Anyway, you can try the following script and see whether it makes any difference. You will have to first assign $N variable that identifies the number of full, starting for the latest one. Be aware that it stats counting from 0, meaning 0 is the latest backup.

Code: Select all

$N = "Number of full"
$Fulls = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Name of your Job" | Get-VBRRestorePoint | where {$_.type -eq "Full"} | Sort creationtime -Descending
$DependentRP = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Name of your Job" | Get-VBRRestorePoint | where {($_.Creationtime -ge $Fulls[$N].CreationTime) -and ($_.getfull().id -eq $Fulls[$N].id)} 
$DependentRP | sort creationtime -Descending | select name, type, creationtime
Thanks.

I've just noticed that the third line is unnecessary, so, current version has four lines, instead of five. Anyway, glad to hear that my input was helpful.

Yes i use :

Code: Select all

# Get all fulls
$fulls=Get-VBRBackup -Name 'S3_VCENTER' | Get-VBRRestorePoint | ?{$_.Type -eq 'Full'} | Sort-Object -Descending CreationTime
$increments=Get-VBRBackup -Name 'S3_VCENTER' | Get-VBRRestorePoint | ?{$_.Type -eq 'Increment' -and $_.getFull().Id -eq $full[x].Id}
