How to get VMName & VBM File with path ?

[dsATspace]

Hello,
I like to get the output:

<vmname>,<drive>:\path\to\<vmname>.vbm

for example:

vm1,e:\backups\vm1_job\vm1.vbm
vm2,e:\backups\vm2_job\vm2.vbm

But did did not know how



Tryed with: Get-VBRBackupRepository
but only get e:\backups for example....
and with: Get-VBRBackupFile


VMNames i can get with:

Code: Select all

$jobarray = Get-VBRJob
foreach ($job in $jobarray)
{

$vm=Get-VBRJobObject -Job $job.name
$vm.name

}

thanks to: chris.arceneaux

Hey dennis,

Use the examples here for how to build the path from backups:

Note that Scale Out Repos need to be handled differently.

Hi thanks....

build this one before I saw your post:

Code: Select all

$repo=Get-VBRBackupRepository
$var=$repo.FriendlyPath
Get-ChildItem $var\*.vbm -Recurse |  % { $_.FullName } > c:\scripts\vbm_files.txt


$jobarray = Get-VBRJob
foreach ($job in $jobarray)
{

$vm=Get-VBRJobObject -Job $job.name
$vbmname = Get-Content -Path 'C:\scripts\vbm_files.txt'
$vbmnamenew = $vbmname | select-String $job.name
$vm.name + "," + $vbmnamenew

}

Your script will work, but you might hit connectivity issues if you have non-local storage (e.g., remote server, linux server, NFS/SMB share, etc)

The Veeam database has all this information, but for Scale out repos it's represented as relative paths, so the real path can be built by hand.

Your code will work, but you will find it does not work for quite a few storage options. If you don't have a complex setup and all local storage, then enjoy! But I strongly advise build it right "the first time" Saves a lot of rewriting later.
