Backup repositories content.

Post by JosueM »

Good day everyone.

Is there a way to see what's the content of backup repositories, by content I mean which backup sets are in them, I have version 7.0.

Hi Josue,

You can use Veeam ONE Monitor Client to review the contents of backup repositories. In addition to this, we have a predefined set of backup reports in Veeam ONE (for example, Capacity planning for backup repositories, Veeam backup files growth) that can give you a lot of detailed information on the content and free space consumption of your repositories.

Thanks!

Hello Vitaliy,

Thanks for reply, I do have licensed Veeam ONE monitor also but in the case customers that did not bought ONE , I was wondering if is there a way to see the backup contents from withing the backup app itself. This "feature" could be considered something very basic on a backup tool, IMHO.

You can review what jobs are targeted to your repositories via Backups ->Disk node, I assume it will also give you the information you're looking for.

Also, you can use simple PS script outputs the name of jobs pointed to the given repository:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupRepository -name "Name of your backup repository" | select name, {$_.GetBackups().name}
Thanks.

If it's Windows repository, you can get its content pretty easy even with PS, but I have to agree that Veeam ONE provides quite presentable view that seems to answer your requirements. Thanks.
