Trying to modify the exclude mask on a unix/AIX agent job

[volkanvk]

Hi

I trying to modify the exclude files on an existing Unix/AIX agent job without success, can anyone help me what i'm doing wrong?

My Test Script is:

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name "MyAIX_TestJob"
$objects = $job.BackupObject
$scope = New-VBRSelectedFilesBackupOptions -OSPlatform Unix -BackupSelectedFiles -SelectedFiles "/" -ExcludeMask "/folder01/temp,/folder02/database"
Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -job $job -BackupObject $objects -BackupType SelectedFiles -SelectedFilesOptions $scope

My Error Message is:

Code: Select all

Set-VBRComputerBackupJob : The specified computer backup job is invalid.
Application Aware Image processing options:
BackupObject 'aixserver01':
Failed to validate computer backup job. The specified application processing options are not compatible with Unix computer backup job.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -job $job -BackupObject $objects -BackupType ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-VBRComputerBackupJob], ArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Cmdlets.SetVBRComputerBackupJob

Thank you in advance for any help

Hi Volkan,

I assume for your unix exclude mask you meant an array of two elements. If that's the case, the correct syntax to pass it would be this:

Code: Select all

-ExcludeMask @("/folder01/temp", "/folder02/database")

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg

Yes, but i got the same error message if i try to change the exclude mask. Can you tell me if my command is wrong or whats wrong with is?

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\ua-vvo01> $job = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name "MyAIX_TestJob"
PS C:\Users\ua-vvo01> $objects = $job.BackupObject
PS C:\Users\ua-vvo01> $scope = New-VBRSelectedFilesBackupOptions -OSPlatform Unix -BackupSelectedFiles -SelectedFiles "/" -ExcludeMask @("/folder01/temp", "/folder02/database")
PS C:\Users\ua-vvo01> Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -job $job -BackupObject $objects -BackupType SelectedFiles -SelectedFilesOptions $scope

Hi Volkan,

Turns out, apart from exclusion mask array syntax, nothing wrong with your command. It simply throws the same exception always if backup object is of unix type, even if you don't pass anything except the job object:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -Job $job
Set-VBRComputerBackupJob : The specified computer backup job is invalid.
Application Aware Image processing options:
BackupObject 'solaris':
Failed to validate computer backup job. The specified application processing options are not compatible with Unix computer 
backup job.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -Job $job
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-VBRComputerBackupJob], ArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Cmdlets.SetVBRComputerBackupJob

Discussed it with QA and confirmed as a bug. The fix is scheduled for vNext. Thank you for noticing it!

Best regards,
Oleg
