Looking for a way to get the full backup day of all Jobs.

[the_mentor]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a quick powershell script that will get me the configured day of a full backup of all my jobs.

so far I've gone as far as:
$VBRJobName = "BackupJobName"
$(Get-VBRJob -Name "$VBRJobName").ScheduleOptions

This returns a lot of information about the backup's schedule options but i dont see any information here about what is the configured full backup day of a job.

can one of you assist me or point me in the right direction?

Hi,

Please try $(Get-VBRJob -Name "$VBRJobName").BackupTargetOptions

Thank you.

Thank you very much !!
This pointed me in the right direction.
I found this to output the exact Full backup days.

$($(Get-VBRJob -Name "$VBRJobName").BackupTargetOptions).FullBackupDays

Try the following one-liner. It lists backup jobs, along with used full backup mode, and full backup days.

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | where {$_.JobType -eq "Backup"} | select -Property @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}}, @{N="Active Full Enabled";E={$_.BackupStorageOptions.EnableFullBackup}}, @{N="Synthetic Full Enabled";E={$_.BackupTargetOptions.TransformFullToSyntethic}}, @{N="Full Backup Days";E={$_.BackupTargetOptions.FullBackupDays}} | ft -AutoSize

Thanks.

I'm struggling with the output.

Name Active Full Enabled Synthetic Full Enabled Full Backup Days
---- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------
Job-xxxx False True Saturday

From what I can see in the GUI, "Full Backup Days" is the setting for "Active full backup". The right value for synthetic backup is "TransformFullToSyntethic"?

errr, I mean TransformToSyntethicDays
