Get-VBRRestoreSession object

[efd121]

I'm trying to track down information from restore sessions but I'm not able to find some of the information in the PS restore session object that is in the GUI. Looking at the log tab from the GUI from a failed session the last two entries are "Session became orphaned" and "Restore job is failed: Restore session closed unexpectedly" Does anyone know where I can find this information from the history of the restore sessions?

Can you tell me what type of restore session was executed: FLR, Instant VM Recovery, Full VM Recovery, Tape Recovery, etc.? Thanks!

File level restore

Then, you can use something like this (should output restore session log):

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSNapin
$RestoreSession = Get-VBRRestoreSession | sort creationtimeutc -Descending | select -First 1
$RestoreSession.Logger.Getlog().updatedrecords.title

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response, I will give this a try

The script assumes that the session you need to query is the latest executed one. If that's not true, add some filter parameter: creation time, VM name or similar. Thanks!

Thanks, I am able to get the information I'm looking for. I have an open case where it appears for some of the failed FLR restores its causing scheduled jobs not to start.

Using the code you provided I was able to find a log entry "Exception of type 'Veeam.Backup.AgentProvider.AgentClosedException' was thrown." So far I have found at least one example of this on the days we have experienced the scheduled job issue.

I have other failed FLR sessions that do not contain this Exception but they are not causing the scheduled jobs to stop running.

Adding a portion of my script in case someone else could use it. I used the same code minus the -and $restoreSession.Result -eq "Failed" and log information to pull back a csv from the past year of FLR restores. Parsing the data I found that our SD has ran over 400 restores from the same server, looks like I found my next script to automate those restores for them

Code: Select all

$restoreSessions = Get-VBRRestoreSession
foreach ($restoreSession in $restoreSessions)
	{
	$item = "" | Select Server, RestorePoint, Start, End, Who, Result, Log
	if ($restoreSession.JobType -eq "FileLevelRestore" -and $restoreSession.Result -eq "Failed")
		{
		$item.Server = $restoreSession.Info.VmDisplayName
		$item.RestorePoint = $restoreSession.Info.OibCreationTime
		$item.Start = $restoreSession.CreationTime
		$item.End = $restoreSession.EndTime
		$item.Who = $restoreSession.Info.Initiator.Name
		$item.Result = $restoreSession.Result
		$tmplog = $restoreSession.Logger.GetLog().updatedrecords.title
		foreach ($log in $tmplog)
			{
			$item.Log += $log
			$item.Log += ","
			}
		$results += $item
		}
	}
$results | Export-Csv $resultsFile -NoTypeInformation

Thanks for sharing the resulting script with fellow forum members; appreciated!
