Veeam 9 - Remove-VBRBackup command errors

[jed-hyper]

When i run this command on Veeam 8 it work without error

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup | Where-Object { $_.Name -like '*imported' } | Remove-VBRBackup -Confirm:$false

When i run the same command on Veeam 9 i get this error?
Remove-VBRBackup : Unable to remove backup BackupJob_imported because it is in use by one or more SureBackup application groups

Can you tell me whether the said backup is indeed in use by SureBackup Application Group or not? Thanks.

Well original back is in the SureBackup but i'm trying to remove the imported backup?

[veremin]

Hmm, sounds strange indeed. And there is only one entity returned by Get-VBRBackup cmdlet? I mean it couldn't happen that both original and imported backups were returned, could it?

Just for the sake of sheer testing - can the same backup be deleted via GUI?

Thanks.

I'm specifically running

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackup | Where-Object { $_.Name -like '*imported' }

When i run that it only returns the 1 imported backup that i have.
I'm just trying to remove that imported backup but if fails with that error.
I can manually remove the backup from the GUI just the powershell command that's not working.
Should i be running a different get command?

Here is a output of that command if it helps

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-VBRBackup | Where-Object { $_.Name -like '*imported' }

It seems that somehow the imported backup has references to existing Application Group. I'd go and delete it in GUI, and open a ticket if the issue reoccurs. Thanks.

[jed-hyper]

Yeah i can delete it in the GUI but every time i add an imported backup i can't delete it from powershell, this is happening on multiple servers all running version 9. My version 8 servers it works fine.
I'll book a ticket.
