Powershell to show all Gateway (Proxy) Servers configured for a Repository

[rdixon01]

With Veeam B&R version 12, we can now add multiple Gateway (Proxy) servers as Gateway server in the repositories. In version 11 we use to be able to view the list of repositories in the console and it would list the individual proxy servers. Now in V12 it just list the name Gateway. Does anyone know of a powershell script command that can be run to list all of the Gateway (Proxy) server that are configured for each repository. The Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "RepositoryName" command only list the first proxy server in the repository. I have the same problem trying to list all of the "Backup Proxies" configured for our Backups jobs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @rdixon01,

Right now I don't know if there's a supported method, but CBackupRepository objects have an unsupported method GetActualGateways():

Code: Select all

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Veeam\Backup Tape> $repo.GetActualGateways()

I suppose this is what you're wanting

That worked great for Identifying the Gateway server (proxies) that are associated to the repositories.
How would we find that same info for finding the Backup Proxies that are configured for a backup job.
Sorry, My PowerShell skills are very limited.
Thank you

Hi @rdixon01, I'm really glad it helped, and no worries on the follow up.

I am _99.9%_ sure there is a way that is supported for it, but while I look there is this other unsupported method:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\Administrator> $job.GetSourceViProxies()

Name                      Type         Host            IsDisabled      Description
----                      ----         ----            ----------      -----------
some-server            Vi          some-server  False           Created by some-dude
VMware Backup Proxy       Vi           ddom-veeam-r... False           Created by Veeam Backup & Replication

This should be stable to use. I will look for a supported way though, and maybe someone else can chime in I just don't remember off the top of my head.

Thank You. This worked for me
