HowTo retrieve Backup Files from Veeam Jobs in v.6.5 ?

[BigGeorge]

Hi all!

How I can retrieve the backup files created by one Job Session (.vbk, .vbr, etc)?
I've find the old v.5 command, but not in 6.5 ...

Thank you

Am I completely wrong in assuming that you can meet your expectations by running simple Get-ChildItem method?

Syntax in this case should look like this:

Code: Select all

Get-ChildItem D:\Repository#1\Job#1

Note: The path is just an example, you’ll have to specify your own.

This method will list all the files located in the given folder. By adding extra commands you can retrieve only full backup-files(.vbk) or take only files created during the latest job run.

Should any additional help be needed, don’t hesitate to let me know.
Thanks.

Yes

Because I need to find the file related to a specific job session (example: I need to retrieve the .vb* file related to the yesterday job session).

I know that you suggest (and I use it), but it's not that I need

In fact, I’m still quite confused why this method inappropriate to you, since in the cited example by simple script modification you can catch the files created today, yesterday or whatever day you want.

Anyway, if you provide link to the old v.5 command, I’ll probably be able to fully understand your goals and assist you in scripting process as far as possible.

Thanks.

Hi,

The command in v.5 was

Code: Select all

get-vpclastsessionextended

and the parameter was

Code: Select all

FileName

See this link: http://vpowercli.wordpress.com/2011/11/ ... tended-v5/

This is that I search in v.6

Thank you

Does it really have to be specific to a job session? It's pretty trivial to get a list of restore points for a backup and their associated files:

Code: Select all

(Get-VBRBackup -Name "Core Servers").GetStorages()

I'm sure there's a way to tie the session to the restore point, but I'm not sure why it would be required to simply know what files to copy.

Yes!
