VeeamZIP

[marius roma]

I need to create a script to VeeamZIP a list of VMs.
Is there any sample I can start from?

Sure, the doc has 2 examples already:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95

Code: Select all

$vm = Find-VBRViEntity -Name "Fileserver01"
$rep = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Reports"
Start-VBRZip -BackupRepository $rep -Entity $vm -RunAsync

Code: Select all

$vm = Find-VBRViEntity -Name "Tech"
$netcreds = Get-VBRCredentials -Name "Shared"
Start-VBRZip -Folder "D:\Repository\VeeamZIP" -Entity $vm -Compression 4 -DisableQuiesce -NetworkCredentials $netcreds -RunAsync

You can use the script mentioned here. Thanks.

Many thanks for the quick answers.
Let me ask for an additional clarification: when I start VeeamZIP manualkly I specify the destination as a shared foleder that is mapped as a local disk in the Veeam server (let's say Z:\MyVeeamZip\demo ) and a username and a password to acces the share (let's say user1 ans mypassword).
How can I pass such values in Start-VBRZip ?

No access to lab but I guess you need to add the credentials first with add-vbrcredentials (if they are not there yet). Adding them probably also return the object so you should be able to do something like:

Code: Select all

$netcreds = Add-VBRCredentials -Type Windows -User Administrator -Password "Password_1" -Description "Veeamzip"

However, probably you will need to add the credentials only once (maybe via the gui), and you can get them then with get-vbrcredentials

You need to add them first, using the method described by Timothy. Then, refer to them, using -NetworkCredentials parameter.

Kindly, take a look at the thread provided, all of those questions have been discussed there already.

Thanks.
