Get-VBRTapeJob and last run time

[npitacco]

Hello everyone.
I am writing some scripts to summarize the results of the jobs run in the last 24 hours for Veeam 7 (I know, I should upgrade)
I have no problem with standard backup jobs, but tape jobs are giving me weird results.
Dates do not match the one shown in the graphical interface, LatestRun is two years in the past and EndDateTime is next week
When I look in the graphical interface I have:

Code: Select all

Job Name: File to Tape Job
Session type: FileTapebackup
Status: Success
Start Time: 6/21/2015 1:00 AM
End Time: 6/21/2015 10:17 AM

and this is the result of "Get-VBRJobScheduleOptions -Job "File to Tape Job" (I have shortened the schedule strings because I dont't believe they are relevant)

Code: Select all

OptionsScheduleAfterJob           : Veeam.Backup.Model.CScheduleAfterJobOptions
StartDateTime                          : 11/2/2013 4:51:01 PM

LatestRecheck                     : 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM

The date "11/2/2013 4:51:01 PM" is when the job was created
My problem is the LatestRun value which is wrong.
Is this a known bug (but I have not seen it mentioned anywhere) or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

What happens if you try to get it differently?

Code: Select all

$TapeJob = Get-VBRTapeJob -Name "Name of your tape job"
Get-VBRSession -Job $TapeJob -Last | select {$_.endtime}

Thanks.

I apologize for the very late feedback, but I didn't receive the notification of your post.
I have tried the solution you suggested and it works.
I don't understand why, and this trouble me because without knowing the reason I cannot avoid other similar problems.

Thank you very much for pointing me to the right solution

Tape functionality has different set of its own commandlets. For instance, Get-VBRsession returns list of tape job sessions, thus, it should be used to get proper information regarding tape job last run. Other generic commandlets might or might not work for tape jobs smoothly.

This section of our help center might be a good starting point.

Thanks.
