How would I check for running backup jobs?

[electricd7]

Hello,

I have a specific need for a way to poll Veeam server and check if any Backup jobs are running. I need to return TRUE only if there is an actual backup job running, I would return FALSE if the job type is instant-restore, restore, etc, but TRUE if job type was a backup job. Is there an easy way to poll the system and return that information quickly?

Check the following example and see whether it's something you're looking for:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Trigger = $Null
$RunningJobs = Get-VBRJob | where {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -and {$_.GetLatestState()} -eq "Working"} | select name
if ($RunningJobs.Count -ne 0) {$Trigger = $True}
else {$Trigger = $False}

Thanks.
