Scanning Repository in DR Site

[hm-hmason]

We are using Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5u3 and are backing up to ddboost shares on a data domain. This share is then replicated via the data domain to our DR site as a read-only share. In the DR site, we have a second installation of Veeam B&R that has the read-only copy setup as a repository there. In order to have the latest copy of the backups in the remote repository, we have to scan it from the Veeam server and this is getting to where it takes a little over 2 hours to scan. The only way I've found to do this is to launch the DR console and manually scan the repository. Is there a way to set it up so that the repository can be scanned on a daily basis either via Veeam or even from possibly a scheduled PS script? Thanks.

You can schedule a PS script to rescan repository periodically:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Name of your backup repository"
Rescan-VBREntity -Entity $Repository

Thanks.

The above PS script works when used pre-job but it doesn't allow time for the repo scan to fully complete before continuing with the job. How may one add a wait time at the end of the script before the subsequent task in the job starts?
