Exporting Tape Backups and Dates

[slanetw]

Hi all,

I am not sure if this is posted elsewhere, but I havent been able to find anything.

We are not a user of Veeam One, however, we have a current requirement to audit all our tapes in storage from Veeam and also our previous backup solution.

Is there a way either graphically or via powershell to export a list of the tape numbers, tape job and Backup date to a csv to make it easy for me to compare against a list that is currently in storage?

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

Typically VeeamOne would be used for this, so likely Powershell is your best bet.

You can check our Powershell cmdlets for Tape, as likely some combination of Get-VBRTapeMedium, Get-VBRTapeJob, and Get-VBRTapeBackupSession will work for you. If you're newer to Powershell, check out our Powershell forums for existing scripts or create a topic there with your request and what you're tried, and we'll do our best to assist.

Similarly, if you just need a full inventory, there is a user created solution that I believe still works in 12.3 (but the script assumes Microsoft SQL for the database engine just a note).
