Version of installed Veeam Powershell modules

[jcolonfzenpr]

Hi,

Is there any way to establish which version of the Veeam powershell modules are installed?

Currently I run the command "Get-Module -ListAvailable Veeam.Backup.PowerShell" and I see no way to distinguish between v11 and v12.

V12 installation:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\administrator> Get-Module -ListAvailable Veeam.Backup.PowerShell | Format-List

Name              : Veeam.Backup.PowerShell
Path              : C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and
                    Replication\Console\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.psd1
Description       : Provides Veeam cmdlets to work with "Veeam Backup And Replication".
ModuleType        : Manifest
Version           : 1.0
NestedModules     : {Veeam.Backup.PowerShell}
ExportedFunctions :
ExportedCmdlets   : {Add-VBRBackupCopyJob, Get-VBRBackupCopyJob, Set-VBRBackupCopyJob, Copy-VBRBackupCopyJob...}
ExportedVariables :
ExportedAliases   : {Set-VBRGFSYearlyOptions, Set-VBRGFSWeeklyOptions, Set-VBRGFSMonthlyOptions, Set-VBRGFSOptions...}

PS C:\Users\administrator>

V11 installation:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\jocolon> Get-Module -ListAvailable Veeam.Backup.PowerShell | Format-List

Name              : Veeam.Backup.PowerShell
Path              : C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Console\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.psd1
Description       : Provides Veeam cmdlets to work with "Veeam Backup And Replication".
ModuleType        : Manifest
Version           : 1.0
NestedModules     : {Veeam.Backup.PowerShell}
ExportedFunctions :
ExportedCmdlets   : {Get-VBRComputerFileProxyServer, New-VBRSanIntegrationOptions, New-VBRSelectedPersonalFolders, New-VBRUnixScheduleOptions...}
ExportedVariables :
ExportedAliases   : {Set-VBRHPStorage, Add-VBRHPSnapshot, Add-VBRHPStorage, Get-VBRHPCluster...}

PS C:\Users\jocolon>

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jonathan

Can you try to get the version from the nested dll file?

Code: Select all

( (Get-Item "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Console\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.dll").VersionInfo | select OriginalFilename,FileVersionRaw,Comments

Best,
Fabian

Though this is nice, thanks, it would be preferable, if the Get-module command would show the FileversionRaw content in the "Version" field.
This is the first place one would look for it.

@Herbert Sz
Already discussing it internally

I think adding product version to the version field in the module info would make much more sense than having this const version 1.0. So thanks guys, noted for future releases!

While developing the asbuiltreport.veeam.vbr report I needed a way to filter out certain content that only applies to the v12 release.

Thank you this workaround meets my needs.
(Get-Item "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Console\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.dll").VersionInfo.ProductVersion
