Shutting down Veeam Servers when jobs are complete

[Rumple]

I have a backup respository running in the DR site and on the prduction side I have a couple 4vcpu backup "Servers" running.
One of the things I would love to see in the options is ability to set a shutdown if idle after x job finishes or after xtime.
For instance I'd love to set a shutdown if idle after 6am...if any jobs are finishing up, once they finish then the system would auto power off (and then I'd have a vmware job to power up the virtual Backup server at 6pm

Allow me to save resources during day when I typicalyl have backups idle....

Have you though about creating a scheduled PowerShell script that checks if any Veeam jobs are running, and shuts down the server?

[Rumple]

thought about it, but my scripting skills suck. Would be nice to have an option in the console or as part of a job (so I could just enable that on the last expected job)

have an email alert to trigger your mailbox of last Success Job, if that job Finished, then based on the result, have a schedule task to kick start as Shutdown -s -t 1

or you can use this;

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupSession -Name "JobName" | Select JobName, Result 

and based on the LastResult, you can run another script or get use Shutdown.exe -s -t 0

And here is the script example you can use to shutdown VM via PowerCLI: http://waterlovinghead.com/VmwarePowercli

Try this out;

Code: Select all

PS C:\> Get-Content C:\jobs.txt | ForEach-Object {Get-VBRBackupSession | Select-
Object JobName, Result} if ((Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.Name -eq $LastJobName}).GetLastresult() -eq "Success" {shutdown.exe -s -t 1}
