vm snapshot removing duration during backup: sql query

Post by EBoucq »

Hello,

I'm asked to list for each vm Veeam backs up, the duration of snapshot removal.
Is this information stored somewhere in the Veeam database so I can run a query ?

Thanks !!!

Hi,

There is an alarm in Veeam ONE Monitor under VMware/Virtual Machine folder which is called "Latest snapshot age" which can be configured to serve for informational purpose. Does that fit your needs? Please describe your use case.

Thank you.

Hi Pavel,

Among 250 VMs, I need to pick the ones with the longest snapshot removing duration to move their snapshot files to SSD drives.

Thanks,
Eric

Ok, I see. Please check this article - it describes how to obtain snapshot removal routine info via ESXi commandline, might require some scripting. Search for startTime and completeTime parameters.

Thank you.
