Problems with the query of the Veeam backup status

[ShowMeYourSkil]

Hello all,

I am using Powershell to query the status of my backup. However, I get errors in the status query that I can't explain. Can you help me?

WARNING: This cmdlet is no longer supported for computer backup jobs. Use
"Get-VBRComputerBackupJob" instead.

Add-PsSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in "VeeamPSSnapIn" is not installed on this computer.

My PowerShell Code:

Code: Select all

param([string]$excluded_jobs = "")
if($excluded_jobs -ne "")
{
	$excluded_jobs_array = $excluded_jobs.Split(",")
}


#Adding required SnapIn
if((Get-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null)
{
	Add-PsSnapin VeeamPSSnapIn
}


$output_jobs_failed 	= ""
$output_jobs_warning 	= ""
$nagios_output 			= ""
$nagios_state 			= 0

$output_jobs_failed_counter 	= 0
$output_jobs_warning_counter 	= 0
$output_jobs_success_counter 	= 0
$output_jobs_none_counter 		= 0
$output_jobs_working_counter 	= 0
$output_jobs_skipped_counter 	= 0


$jobs = Get-VBRJob

ForEach($job in $jobs)
{
	$status 	= $job.GetLastResult()
	$state 		= $($job.findlastsession()).State
	
	#Parse the date when the job last run 
	$runtime 	= $job.GetScheduleOptions()
	$runtime 	= $runtime -replace '.*Latest run time: \[', ''
	$runtime 	= $runtime -replace '\], Next run time: .*', ''
	$runtime 	= $runtime.split(' ')[0]

I would be very pleased to receive help!

Hi

Add-PsSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in "VeeamPSSnapIn" is not installed on this computer.

If you have V11 installed, then there is no need to load the VeeamPSSnapIn. You can remove the part from your script.
V11 uses Modules instead of Snapin's.

WARNING: This cmdlet is no longer supported for computer backup jobs. Use
"Get-VBRComputerBackupJob" instead.

That's just a warning that you should add in your script the new command.
Get-VBRJob lists you computer backup jobs today, but could stop doing that in our next version and only list VM Jobs.
You should add Get-VBRComputerBackupJob in your script for the Agent Backup Jobs.

Thanks
Fabian

Hi Fabian

thanks for your reply

I have now replaced the VBR part. Do you happen to know how I can query the last result of the jobs? At that time with the Get-VBR this went over getresult. However, this now throws me an error message and I can not find any documentation.

I think I found a solution by accident! I will test this and report afterwards.
