Making sure all VM's are backed up?

[maverick964_uk]

I am using Veeam 7 and we have approx 650 VMs in our estate.
I want to try and run some reports which can help me identify if all VM's are being backed up.

Vcenter can show me how many VM's but its difficult to get this out of Veeam.

Does any one have any good methods to extract this data?

thanks

have you looked at Veeam ONE ? the protected VM's report is designed just for this.

[maverick964_uk]

unfortunately we dont have Veeam ONE and I doubt we'd get it either.
What can be done based on the veeam B&R we have now? Powershell script?

At the moment all I can do is look at the restore interface which shows VM count per backup. Its not ideal and would be good to have a much better way of doing it...

thanks

I use the note for this Problem.
In the Job Definition -> Storage -> Advanced -> Notifications -> Set successful backup datails to this VM Attribute "Notes"

After the job, you can see the jobname, the date time of the last backup in the virtual machines overview in vCenter Client.

Hey, Mike,

Have you already seen this topic? There are some script examples; might be helpful for you.

Thanks.

Uh, that script bring me back memories.
It will be interesting to see if it still works as of today with latest Veeam and vSphere versions

I don't think that there have been dramatic changes in regards to PowerCLI or Veeam PS snap-in commands. So, most likely, everything still works as is.

Even if it's not the case, it would not be that hard to update the existing version, so that, it follows current situation.

Thanks.
