Veeam PowerShell - Replication Intervals

[rbbch]

Hello,

Is anyone aware of a command in which you can pull the replication interval of every job via PowerShell.

For example, if a job has a schedule to periodically replicate every 30 mins, I would like to get that via PowerShell.

Kind Regards
Ben

Hi Ben,

Can you tell me which types of replication jobs you are after? I'm asking because the approaches will vary for VMware/Hyper-V, vCD and CDP types.

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Ben

This is a simple script which works for HyperV and vSphere Replica Jobs.
It gives you a list with JobName, Periodic enabled or not, Interval Unit and the configured interval:

Code: Select all

$ReplicaJobs = Get-VBRJob | where {$_.TypeToString -like "*Replication*"}
$ReplicaJobs | select name,@{Name="Periodic"; Expression={ $_.scheduleOptions.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled}},@{Name="Unit"; Expression={ $_.scheduleOptions.OptionsPeriodically.Kind}},@{Name="Interval"; Expression={ $_.scheduleOptions.OptionsPeriodically.FullPeriod}} | sort Name | ft -autosize

Hey, that is perfect. Just what I was looking for. thank you!

Hey, I am trying to also include the LatestRunLocal time/date so I can compare to see if things are over running. How do I pull that individual value too. I have tried modifying the script but not getting anywhere...

[oleg.feoktistov]

Sure, you can pull it from the schedule options:

Code: Select all

$replicaJobs = Get-VBRJob | where {$_.TypeToString -like '*Replication*'}
$replicaJobs | select Id, Name, @{n='LatestRunLocal';e={$_.ScheduleOptions.LatestRunLocal}}

Thanks!

Cheers appreciate that, the LatestRunLocal might not be what I am looking for them as the dates dont see right. I want to find out how long the job has been running for. I.e. 35 minutes etc. And have that value in a variable alongside the interval. I can then compare them both.

Then you are most probably after duration property contained in a session object. The workflow is to query the last session for each job and then obtain value in CBackupSession.Progress.Duration. Example:

Code: Select all

$replicaJobs = Get-VBRJob | where {$_.TypoToString -like "*Replication*"}
$sessions = Get-VBRBackupSession
foreach ($job in $replicaJobs) {
  $session = $sessions | where {$_.JobId -eq $job.Id} | sort -Property EndTime | select -Last 1
  $job | select Id, Name, @{n='LatestRunLocal';e={$session.CreationTime}}, @{n='Duration';e={$session.Progress.Duration}}
}

As for the LatestRunLocal property, you are right, it looks off. I used CBackupSession.CreationTime property in my case as a LatestRunLocal determinator.

Best regards,
Oleg
