Retention Script

[Ayhan-Co]

Hello All,

I need a script which show me retention informations like that.

Job Name| Retention |Retention Type
ABC | 7 | Days
KLM | 3 | Restore Points
XYZ |10 | Days
QWE| 14 | Restore Points

I found some scripts but they did not show me 'Days'. Have you got any idea?

Regards

Hi Ayhan,

guess you are looking for:

Code: Select all

$JobOptions = Get-VBRJob -Name "JobName" | Get-VBRJobOptions
$JobOptions.BackupStorageOptions.RetentionType

/Cheers!

Hello Egor,

Thank you for useful informations. I used following script but it gives wrong information about Retention information. It shows me retention 7 but real value is 30.

Script:

Get-VBRJob | ? {$_.jobtype -eq "Backup"} |
Select-Object -Property @{N="Job Name"; E={$_.name}}, @{N = "Storage Retention"; E={$_.GetOptions().BackupStorageOptions.RetainCycles}}, @{N = "Retention Type"; E={$_.GetOptions().BackupStorageOptions.RetentionType}} | Format-Table -AutoSize

SS:

Hi Ayhan,

RetainCycles property reflects retention for RestorePoints type, for Days type RetainDaysToKeep property is what you should be retrieving:

Code: Select all

@{N = "Storage Retention"; E={$_.GetOptions().BackupStorageOptions.RetainDaysToKeep}}

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

Thank you for your interest. Finally I can use powershell for retentions
