Querying Backup/Data Size by Job Name

[cpm30]

Hey folks,

I am trying to get the Backup and Data sizes for for a Veeam jobs in enterprise manager. I can query enterprise manager and get the VIBs/VBKs back using /api/backupFiles or the job names individually, but is there a way to query by job name and return the backup/data size values? Below is what I have so far:

$credentials = Get-Credential
$response = Invoke-WebRequest "https://$($VBEMServerName):9398/api/sessionMngr/?v=latest" -Method Post -Credential $credentials -SkipCertificateCheck
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("X-RestSvcSessionId", $response.Headers["X-RestSvcSessionId"])
$response = Invoke-RestMethod "https://$($VBEMServerName):9398/api/backupFiles" -Method Get -Headers $headers -SkipCertificateCheck
$response = Invoke-RestMethod "https://$($VBEMServerName):9398/api/jobs/" -Method Get -Headers $headers -SkipCertificateCheck

Hi Chris,

Here's the method for linking Backup Jobs to their Backups:

• Retrieve Backup Jobs
  • GET /api/jobs
  • Response in this API call has Backup Job name and well as the UID (unique ID).
  • If you already know the Backup Job name, you can use the Query service to search for the Job specifically instead of retrieving all Backups Jobs.
• Retrieve all Backups for the Backup Job UID specified:
  • GET /api/query?format=Entities&type=Backup&filter=JobUid=="urn:veeam:Job:c10c728b-89b3-4f85-9f70-dbd1279f8d23"

Once you have the Backups, each one will have a link to its backup files (see screenshot). It's there that you'll find the backup/data sizes.

GET /api/backupFiles/{ID}?format=Entity <-- Make sure to include ?format=Entity
