View Backup Schedule for All backups?

[ixoni]

Is there a way to view a schedule of all the backups? I thought when I was using Veeam a couple years ago I could open a calendar view of all the scheduled backups. This makes scheduling new backup times a lot easier.
Thanks

Sounds like you're confusing Veeam with some other product. Veeam does not require such manual scheduling of backup times in the first place... you can have all jobs started at the beginning of your backup window, and our intelligent load balancer will execute them all according to available source and backup infrastructure resources, ensuring neither is overloaded at any given moment. Thanks!

Hi @Ixoni, what about using the below Powershell script:

Code: Select all

$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName myserver
    Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock{
        Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapin
        $VbrJobs = Get-VBRJob | Sort-Object typetostring, name
        $Repos = Get-VBRBackupRepository
        
        Foreach($Job in $VbrJobs)
        {
            #Get Job Name
            $JobName = $Job.Name
            
            #Get VMs in Job
            $Objects = $Job.GetObjectsInJob()

            #Get Restore Points
            $RP = $Job.GetOptions().backupstorageoptions.retainCycles

            #Get Days
            $Day = $Job.ScheduleOptions.OptionsDaily.DaysSrv
            $Freq = $Job.ScheduleOptions.OptionsDaily.kind

            If($Freq -eq "Everyday")
            {
                $Day = "Everyday"
            }

            #Get Backup Repository Name
            $RepoTarget = $Job.FindTargetRepository()
            $RepoTarget = $RepoTarget.Name
            
            #Get VM Name    
            $VM = $Objects.Name

            #Get Last Backup
            $Backup = Get-VBRBackup | Where{$_.JobName -eq "$JobName"}
            $LastBackup = $Backup.LastPointCreationTime
                  
    
            $Body += "<tr>"
            $Body += "<td>$JobName</td>"
            $Body += "<td>$VM</td>"
            $Body += "<td>$RP</td>"
            $Body += "<td>$Day</td>"
            $Body += "<td>$RepoTarget</td>"
            $Body += "<td>$LastBackup</td>"
            $Body += "</tr>"


        }
    
    Return $Body
}

Okay so if I want five jobs to run on Sunday, I schedule them all for the same time and don't worry about staggering?

Thanks albertwt, good to know.

That is correct.

[ixoni]

Great, thank you. I used Veeam years ago when it was still a fairly new product, but since implementing it here I have not really had time to be up to date on it.

Going back to the original question, is there a way to see the schedule of all backup jobs? I would think that this would be a job for VeeamONE, but I'll be hanged if I can find what should be a pretty simple report.

If I'm not mistaken, V12 closed this gap.
