May I convert configuration backup to readable format?

[Alex Hung]

Hi~
Is it possible to convert configuration backup to readable format?
Or any script can export all config to an readable file ?

Hi Alex,

Welcome to Veeam R&D forums!

Configuration backup is a backup of the VBR's database in a specific Veeam format that cannot be converted. May I wonder, why are you asking about that?

Thanks

Hi Fedor,

I need a quick collect VBR config method for my many client.
Then I can use it for upgrade check instead of site by site check.

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please explain it in more detail? What exactly you are trying to achieve and why?

Thanks

Hi Fedor,

According on product life cycle, VBR 9.5 will EOS in this month.

I have many client need to upgrade in this month.
Before upgrade I need know what be used for check new version is compatible.

For example, we need ask user to upgrade vSphere or DD first, if there are vSphere 5.1 or DD 6.2 in the client environment.
Or Veeam agent v3 is used, or VBR is installed on 2008 sp2.

English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I do not think there are tools that can do this automatically, especially on such an old VBR version.

Thanks

Hi

Is there any solution in VBR can collect or export backup source&destination detail information?

Thanks

What particular backup source and destination information you are looking for?

[Alex Hung]

Hi Fedor,

What I need is backup source ,like VMware vSphere version, physical machine OS version. And destination device like EMC Datadomain ,HPE Storeonce OS Version. Because I have many custome need to upgrade. Collect these information can save much time for us. Just prevent after upgrade , some old device still in latest VBR support list.

Thanks

Hi Alex,

Technically, on client's side querying infrastructure like that could provide some insights:

Code: Select all

$server = Get-VBRServer
$server.Info

The example above is for one server, so obviosly for all of them you would need a loop.
Info property contains, I think, almost all the data you need on the host.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
Oleg
