Simple output from Start-VBRQuickBackup

[johannesk]

Hi,

I letting my users us a script to do a Start-VBRQuickBackup. The only problem I have with it is that the output in the end showes to much information. I only need it to state the result

Result : Failed

but not the whole attributes like:
.
.
WillBeRetried
IsManuallyStopped
IsTransformLaunched
LastProgressSaveTime
.
.
and so on.

I'm a beginner PS user, so please bear with me if this is just something very simple. The code I'm using is plain and simple.

$vm_to_backup = Find-VBRViEntity -Server $vcenter -Name $vm
Start-VBRQuickBackup -VM $vm_to_backup -Wait

How can I get a simple output from the script that just tells my users if the backup was successful or not?

Regards,
Jóhannes

Add this to the end of your Start-VBRQuickBackup line:

Code: Select all

| Select-Object Result
