Report for a backup job with agent of a Linux Power

[GianlucaCroci]

For a month we've implemented the backup of some servers with Linux on Power processor.
As type, compared to "Windows Agent Backup", "Linux Agent Backup", "IBM AIX Agent Backup", in this case it is "Linux Agent Policy".

I've set the job so that it warns me if the backup has not been completed successfully, therefore "Warning" or "Error".

However, I would like to receive a report (summary) once a week with the week's backups.

I tried with the command "Get-VBRJob | Where-Object { $_.Name -match "Linux Power Backup" })" where I can extract something but it isn't the status of the backup but of the application of the configuration on the servers.

How can I extract a list of all the backups, or rather of all the servers saved, by this backup policy, in a certain time range?

Thanks in advance for the help.
regards

Hello Gianluca,

Let me check your scenario, and I will get back to you.

Hello Gianluca,

Try following commands (all at once), which will output you name of machines, last creation time, and count of points.

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name 'Linux Power Backup'
$backups = Get-VBRBackup | where {$_.JobId -eq $job.Id}
$rps = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backups
$report = @()
$rpsUnique = $rps | Select-Object -Property Name -Unique
foreach ($rp in $rpsUnique) {
  $counter = ($rps | where {$_.Name -eq $rp.Name}).Count
  $lastTime = ($rps | sort -Property CreationTime -Descending | select -First 1).CreationTime
  $report += $rp | select Name, @{n='LastCreationTime';e={$lastTime}}, @{n='Count';e={$counter}}
}

$report 

I believe you can adjust commands to suit your needs

Hello,
thanks a lot. very good.

it would be possible to have the last Status too? Because I just see the date and the numerb of backups... for each server

Name - LastCreationTime - Count
---- ---------------- -----
server_1 - 27.01.2025 03:30:28 - 16
server_2 - 27.01.2025 03:30:28 - 16
server_3 - 27.01.2025 03:30:28 - 16
server_4 - 27.01.2025 03:30:28 - 16
server_5 - 27.01.2025 03:30:28 - 16

Thanks again

Hello Gianluca,

By "last status," do you mean the latest backup result of each machine?

[GianlucaCroci]

Hello,

yes, true. So I can know if there was a Warning or Error.

Thanks

Hello Gianluca,

Try following commands:

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name 'Linux Power Backup'
$backups = Get-VBRBackup | where {$_.JobId -eq $job.Id}
$lastSession = Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession | where {$_.JobId -eq $job.Id} | select -First 1
$rps = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backups
$report = @()
$rpsUnique = $rps | Select-Object -Property Name -Unique
foreach ($rp in $rpsUnique) {
  $counter = ($rps | where {$_.Name -eq $rp.Name}).Count
  $lastTime = ($rps | sort -Property CreationTime -Descending | select -First 1).CreationTime
  $report += $rp | select Name, @{n='LastCreationTime';e={$lastTime}}, @{n='Count';e={$counter}}, @{n='LastResult';e={$lastSession.Result}}
}

$report

Let us know the result.
