Veeam Linux CLI: Progress Bar for Running Backup Jobs

[yayopec]

Hi there!

Currently I'm writing a script that uses the

Code: Select all

veeamconfig job start --name <jobname>

command.

In the Linux GUI version you can see a progress bar that indicates what the current status is (in percent).

As the functionality to display the progress seems to exist, I was wondering whether there is a command to get the status in percent via bash.

Does anyone know a command, that shows the real-time percentage of a running backup job?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

There is no direct veeamconfig command for that, but you can get the backup job session log from

Code: Select all

/var/log/veeam/Backup/JOBNAME/Session_TIME_STAMP_\{SESSION_ID\}/Job.log

and grep the very last "vmb | Session progress:" string from there. It will give you something like this:

Code: Select all

[23.02.2021 23:06:26.359] <140165645330176> vmb    | Session progress: 100%; processed: [7596298240/7475261440] read: [6729760768], transfer: [2242634263] speed: 91816207 bottleneck: 82/98/2/48

Hope this helps,

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. Implementing this in my script was not as easy as I hoped but your answer worked for me!

Thank you very much!!
