Report as failed only after 3 retries.

[Dexiner]

Hi.
I want my script to display as failed only after 3 retries because the Job sometimes fails at first try but succeed at second/third.
I'm using the standard retry option from Veeam.
Is there a way to do this?
Here is the code

Code: Select all

$pshost = get-host
$pswindow = $pshost.ui.rawui

$newsize = $pswindow.buffersize
$newsize.height = 300
$newsize.width = 150
$pswindow.buffersize = $newsize

# Get Information from veeam backup and replication in cmk-friendly format
# V0.9
# Load Veeam Backup and Replication Powershell Snapin
Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

try
{
$tapeJobs = Get-VBRTapeJob
write-host "<<<veeam_tapejobs>>>"
write-host "JobName JobID LastResult LastState"
foreach ($tapeJob in $tapeJobs)
    {
        $jobName = $tapeJob.Name
        $jobID = $tapeJob.Id
        $lastResult = $tapeJob.LastResult
        $lastState = $tapeJob.LastState
        write-host "$jobName $jobID $lastResult $lastState"
    }


$myJobsText = "<<<veeam_jobs:sep(9)>>>`n"
$myTaskText = ""

$myBackupJobs = Get-VBRJob | where {$_.IsScheduleEnabled -eq $true }

I'm not at a console to code it currently, but you should only need to sort your $sessions variable by their start times, then just select the first object to get that specific task session.

[Dexiner]

I don't think I understood what you meant

[nielsengelen]

What Joe is saying is that if u go over the $sessions variabele, you can see all 3 runs per job (if it happens). If you then select the last run, you will have the desired output.

[Dexiner]

My $session contains all the backups, that's not going to work

[veremin]

I think you can simply get the latest job session, check, whether it will be retried, and if not query its status. Something like this:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your Backup job"
$Session = $Job.FindLastSession()
$Session.willberetried

Thanks!

Hi Veremin

How can we do that in v11 for agent jobs? Below are the only things listed when I say get-member.
Want to see the status of only the last retry attempt for each backup job

Hi Zaki,

For agent jobs, you need to use this cmdlet > Get-VBRComputerBackupJob

Thanks!

[Zach123]

Hi Vitaliy

Thanks for the reply. I am still not clear on that.

For eg, If I use below command , it shows the VM backup session that failed even after third retry.
Get-VBRBackupSession | Where-Object { ($_.Result -eq "Failed") -and ($_.WillBeRetried -ne "True") }

But If I use the same command and replace Get-VBRBackupSession with Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession to list the agent sessions which are failed even after third attempt , it does not work as the command does not have "WillBeRetried" as an available method to use.
Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession | Where-Object { ($_.Result -eq "Failed") -and ($_.WillBeRetried -ne "True") }

I am not sure how can I get this info from "Get-VBRComputerBackupJob" as suggested as I am looking for the agent backup session info and not agent job.


Also, is it possible to extract the job for each physical machine backup in the last 24 hours.
This is what I use for VM, But not sure how to convert to report for physical machine backup.

#get jobs which run for last 24 hours
$vbrsessions = Get-VBRBackupSession | Where-Object {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -and $_.EndTime -ge (Get-Date).addhours(-24)}
#get each client from the job
foreach ($session in $vbrsessions) {$session.gettasksessions()| Select Name,Jobname, Status }

Hi Zaki,

Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession is from a different "style" where it seems Veeam is more conservative of what each endpoint returns. I'm not sure on the intended method for getting the same, but you can dip into the .NET Methods for this:

[Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupSession]::GetByJob(uuid JobID)

The method looks to accept a Job UUID, and it accepts the $_.Id for the jobs outputted by Get-VBRComputerBackupJob.

Strangely, while looking for a more "native" solution some of the sessions I have returned by Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession worked with Get-VBRTaskSession, and some didn't, not sure why. If it works for you, CBackupTaskSession objects have a property JobSess which returns the same as the above, but I'm not sure why some JobSession objects work with this and some don't, as seemingly same type of job works for one job session, not for another.

I think the same method should answer both of your questions though, using the CBackupSession
