Cannot locate Veeam Agent Job with Powershell cmdlet

[cswalker]

I have 2 protection groups. Protection group 1 contains 4 2012r2 database servers with Veeam Agent for windows. Protection Group 2 contains a physical server.
The servers in both protection groups are part of 2 different Windows Agent Backup job reflecting each protection group. Running the powershell commands get-vbrjob or get-vbrrepjob does not return either of these jobs. Am i missing a different command that i'm supposed to be using?

Hi Christopher,

I guess the main reason for this behavior is this one, taken from our PS guide:

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows cmdlets will not work for jobs that were created using Veeam Agent management functionality. The ability to manage Veeam Agent management jobs will be provided in future versions of Veeam PowerShell.

As far as I know PS coverage for agent management is coming in our next release. Hope this helps!

That is much appreciated, thank you.

So, after playing around for a bit, this is possible...

Code: Select all

Import-Module Veeam.Exchange.PowerShell
Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupJob]::Get("VeeamAgentJobName")
$Job | Enable-VBRJob

Glad you nailed it and thanks for sharing!

Moving this topic to Veeam B&R Physical and Cloud sub forum as we don't have PS support it standalone agents - only when agents are managed by Veeam B&R server.
