Automatic backup job

[calligraphy]

Hey, does anyone here know how I can find a solution to my problem?

We have a very tight scheduled backup that runs almost all the time with a few exceptions, is it possible to create a script that looks whenever a backup is not running to patch the backupserver/notify us?

You can set notifications on individual jobs. I started off with that, but then swapped to a single notification as I was getting over a hundred emails a day from my Veeam server.

Edit the job, go to Storage screen, click on Notifications tab. Set up the notification for that job.

I think the easiest way is to use Powershell to check if the Job is running.

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | where {$_.GetLastState() -eq "Running"}

With this you can see all Jobs which have the state "Running".
So you could loop this and schedule it in any desired way.

Regards !

Another solution is to use the backup window setting to schedule some maintenance window when the jobs do not run.

Only slight issue with that is that it'll terminate backups with a warning rather than allowing them to complete.

Thank you for the reply guys, we will check out both the powershell idea and perhaps notification tab
