How to get the source backup in a copy bk job

[Dario.Palmisano]

Hello Everybody,

I am trying to get all the objects (from infrastracture, from backups, from jobs) a copy backup job has a source for sync.

I tried the following:

$cpJobName ="MyCopyBkJob"
$cpJob = Get-VBRJob -Name $cpJobName

then used "Get-VBRJobObject -Job $cpJob", but this return nothing, I suppose this command is not applicable to copy backup jobs.

So how can I get these objects from a copy backup job?

Thanks in advance

What is selected as a source for a backup copy job? Job, VM or repository? Thanks.

In the specific it is a Job, but if possible, I would like to learn for all the possibilities.

I would really like if a guide were available where to learn the relations between objects, without disturbing you everytime...

Thank you very much for your kind cooperation

Best regards

Dario

In case of backup jobs selected as a source, the following example should be helpful:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your Backup Copy Job"
foreach ($ID in $Job.LinkedJobIds.guid)
{
Get-VBRJob | where {$_.id -eq $ID} | select name
}

Thanks.

Get-VBRJobObject will work, when a source is represented by individual VMs:

Code: Select all

$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your backup copy job"
$Job | Get-VBRJobObject

Thanks.

In my environment (v. , works only if I remove ".guid"

Many thanks

In my case, both approaches work fine. So, it's up to you to use the one that you like most. Thanks.
