Restore Point - Retention info

[HalYaman]

Hi,

Is there any way to get the restore point (backup file) retention information? such if it is Weekly, Monthly using the API's? (EM or VBR)

For example:
S:\Backups\Test_Job\OpSrv.vm-9016D2022-03-05T221111_3E86.vbk WM

Thanks
HY.

Hi Hal,

No way to pull this info currently using either API. It can be retrieved, however, using PowerShell though:

Code: Select all

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "active_directory"
$storages = $backup.GetAllStorages()
$storages | Where-Object {$_.GfsPeriod -ne "none"} | Select FilePath, GfsPeriod

Hi @Chris,

Thanks for your reply, mmm, I was hoping to retrieve this info using API as the portal I'm building is based on a WebApp, PowerShell is not going to be supported without installing an agent on the VBR server (which I'm trying to avoid at this stage).

No problem. Only RESTful API currently with this information is the Veeam Service Provider Console. It's accessible for free for Veeam Cloud & Service Providers and Enterprise orgs that meet the qualifications and it contains a plethora of information available via RESTful API.
