script to check if repository is on line before running

Post by CharadeUR »

I want to create two jobs to run every Saturday but each job would only run if their respective repository is online. I would need the job to check for the repository then not run the backup if the repository was not found. Thanks.

You would not be able to use our job scheduler. You would need to use windows task scheduler or something outside of Veeam to do this, but the script would not be too hard to write.

Thanks for that. I did write a little batch file that looks like it will work.

Code: Select all

ping 192.168.2.235
if errorlevel 1 goto END
"C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Veeam.Backup.Manager.exe" backup 6de05213-6194-429b-a9eb-ae05ecbc491e
:END
My only question at this point is if I don't use the Veeam scheduler does it still retry failed VMs 3 times?

Yes, I believe you can even alter the number of retries using PowerShell.
