Get-VBRBacupSession for Tape backup

[BenBrooks]

Hi,

We have a powershell script which checks various different things in Veeam to monitor our backup jobs. I have been running the "Get-VBRBackupSession" command to get the data I'm after (in this case the size of the data backed up). We have now implemented a backup to tape with Veeam version 7.0

I was wondering if there another powershell command which can get the same information from a Backup to tape, apologies if I'm missed something obvious!!

Thanks in advance,
Ben

Hi, Ben,

Currently, commandlet “Get-VBRBackupSession” doesn’t return sessions of tape jobs. So, you can either use the following script in order to get only the latest session of tape job:

Code: Select all

$Job = Get-VBRTapeJob -name "Name of tape Job"
$LastSession = $Job.FindLastSession()
$LastSession.Info.BackupTotalSize  

Or use this script in order to get all sessions of tape job:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRTapeJob -name "Name of tape job" 
[Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupSession]::GetByJob($Job.Id) 

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
