Script VeeamZIP Not Working

[SerSunal]

I am trying to do a Veeam ZIP by a Power Shell script and it returns error.
Does anyone know what he could be doing wrong?


It shows me the following error:

Code: Select all

Get-Module -Name Veeam.Backup.PowerShell

Connect-VBRServer -Server "Name_VeeamServer" -Port 9392

$vm = Find-VBRViEntity -Name "Name_VM"

$rep = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Name:Repository"

Start-VBRZip -BackupRepository $ rep -Entity $ vm -RunAsync

Hi Ser,

> Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'BackupRepository'. A backup repository with the specified name does not exist: $
At line:9 char:32

This is telling you the name you set for the repository doesn't exist as a repository name.

1. Are you targeting a Scale-out backup repository or just a Regular Repository? Scale-out repositories will need you to add the -Scaleout flag to the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet
2. Are you positive the name is exactly as your repository is named in the Veeam console?

Do this as a test from a Veeam Powershell console:

Code: Select all

$rep = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Name:Repository"
$rep

When you run $rep, it should return your repository and show you some info on it. if it doesn't, you made a typo in the first line somehow for -Name argument. Again, if you have a Scale out repo, you need to add in the -Scaleout flag
