get-VBRBackup returning more than 2 backup?

Post by aaron@ARB »

Veeam,

Support case ID is [ID# 00996892]

I have just noticed that get-VBRBackup seems to return more than one backup even though I am passing it a name to return. If I run get-VBRBackup by itself it appears to return what it should but if i use it as part of a command to remove a backup, it seems to return a backup that is not even being referred to...

See what I mean below

Code: Select all

PS C:\install> Get-VBRBackup -Name ARBackup | Remove-VBRBackup -FromDisk -Confirm:$false -WhatIf:$true

Strange thing. You might want to check whether -Name parameter works as expected. In order to do that try to replace it with different filter:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup | where {$_.Name -eq "ARBackup"}
If this also returns two entities, it would mean that something is wrong with db. For instance, it has wrong or obsolete references, etc.

Otherwise, it would point out a problem with commandlet itself.

Thanks.

Just as a test, what would be the way that I pass your command to remove-vbrbackup? as in pipe your where into the get-vbrbackup and then have THAT result piped to remove-vbrbackup ? strategically placed brackets?

I suspect its just a display thing, but i want to check

The following should work:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup | where {$_.Name -eq "ARBBackup"} | Remove-VBRBackup
Or assign a backup to a variable first and then pass it to the commandlet:

Code: Select all

$Backup = Get-VBRBackup | where {$_.Name -eq "ARBBackup"}
Remove-VBRBackup -Backup $Backup -FromDisk
Thanks.
