Get-VBRTapeJob - How to recover the start date and metrics of a backup to tape job

[lsch]

Hello,

I am unable to obtain the following data for backup to tape jobs

- Start time
- End time
- Duration
- Total size
- Data read
- Transferred

I'm using Get-VBRTapeJob but the JSON returned doesn't contain the data and I can't find another calllet that does.

Is there a way to return this data with or without powershell?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @lsch,

You need to pass the VBRBackupToTape job object to Get-VBRTapeBackupSession -Job parameter:

Code: Select all

$tapejob = Get-VBRTapeJob -Name 'gfs'
 Get-VBRTapeBackupSession -Job $tapejob | Sort -Property CreationTime -Descending | Se
lect -First 1

That will have most of the stats for you. The transfer items are in Get-VBRTaskSession, which can take the resultant session object from Get-VBRTapeBackupSession.
