POST REPLY
3. By the way, the backup job of Agent (Windows and Linux) is not output with the above
PowerShell. and I would like to display the status of the Agent job as in PowerShell for
VMware Backup.

4. How can I check the status (success/failure) of VM and physical machine full backup
jobs?

Hi, Full Name: Oleg Feoktistov

So, let me recap. The main points are two:

1. Get all backup job sessions ran for the last 24 hours. Datetime class has another
method for that. Since you already use AddDays(), I guess you can easily figure out how
it's called for hours.

2. Get agent backup job sessions. Use Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSessions cmdlet for

that.

Thanks,
Oleg

Thanks, oleg.feoktistov !! Full Name: YOON JOO BYOUNG

Thanks to you, I made a PowerShell to check the backup status of the physical server.

CODE: SELECT ALL

foreach ($PBackup_job in (Get-VBRComputerBackupJob | Select Name)) {

$PBackup_job_name = $PBackup_job.Name
Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession -Name $PBackup_job_name | Where-Object { $_.CreationTime -gt (
}

But, in the
$_.CreationTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)

part, the result value one day before I want is not displayed, but the contents of the entire
date are displayed.

This option works without any problems in below..

CODE: SELECT ALL

Get-VBRBackupSession | ?{$_.CreationTime -ge (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)} | Select JobName, JobType, Creati

OutPut:
JobName JobType CreationTime EndTime Result State BackupSize
------- ------- ------------ ------- ------ ----- ----------
VM_Job Backup 3/21/2021 8:17:49 AM 3/21/2021 8:41:59 AM Warning Stopped 18063425536

Anyone ask help me.

are displayed.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Try using AddHours() method on Get-Date, looks like it fits more in your case.

Thanks,

I've tried running 2 powershells to check the status of backup jobs that have been running
for 24 hours from the current time.

1. Where-Object { $_.CreationTime -ge (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)}

2. Where-Object { $_.CreationTime -ge (Get-Date).AddHours(-1)}
- AddHours(-1) ~ AddHours(-4) = Not OutPut
- AddHours(-5) ~ AddHours(-6) ..... = All DATA OutPut
I only want to outputs a list of backup jobs within 24 hours. By the way, the above
PowerShell command outputs a list of backup jobs for all periods.
Which command should I apply to get the result I want?

For some reason, the output of Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession cannot be filtered and

sorted directly.
Try the approach below:

CODE: SELECT ALL

$date = (Get-Date).AddHours(-24)
$sessions = Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession
$sessions | where {$_.CreationTime -ge $date} | sort CreationTime | Format-Table

Thanks,

You are really great !! Contact:
Thanks for giving me tremendous help.

Thanks to your help, I created the final PowerShell script like the one below.

$sessions = Get-VBRComputerBackupJobSession
foreach ($PBackup_job in (Get-VBRComputerBackupJob | Select Name)) {
$PBackup_job_name = $PBackup_job.Name
write "------------ Physical Server Backup Job Name : $PBackup_job_name ------------"
$sessions | where {$_.CreationTime -ge $date} | sort CreationTime | Select CreationTime, endti
}

HI Rajesh, Full Name: Oleg Feoktistov
Contact:

It is not working because you are trying to filter CreationTime of datetime type by a string
value. There is no type conversion happenning in this case. Adding to the way Stefan
mentioned, another one would be to parse a date from a string and then use it for
filtering:

CODE: SELECT ALL

$date = [Datetime]::Parse('4/16/2022')
$sessions | where {$_.CreationTime.Date -eq $date}

In this case make sure to filter by CreationTime.Date, not just CreationTime. Otherwise
hours/minutes/seconds in $date won't be ignored, and you will likely receive no results
unless some sessions were started precisely at a default time written to $date (12:00:00
AM).

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg, Full Name: Rajesh TK
Contact:

Thanks for the response!

I used the above suggestion but it did not filter out anything. Here is my code,

CODE: SELECT ALL

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name VMC2-PRDCPY-WIN08-GRP01

$session = Get-VBRBackupSession | Where {$_.jobId -eq $job.Id.Guid}
$date = [datetime]::Parse('4/22/2022')
$session | where {$_.CreationTime.Date -eq $date}

Not sure what is missing. Could you please help with this?

Hi Rajesh, Full Name: Oleg Feoktistov
Contact:

Do you mean that it didn't reflect anything or it reflected many more irrelevant sessions?
If it's the first scenario, it would likely mean that it is either something wrong on the steps
of getting job and sessions or no session ran on that date. In this case I'd advise to check
if $job and $session variables hold any values. If they do, please double check if any
session ran on that day for the mentioned job.

Thanks,
Oleg

$job and $session had values in it but not for the date I was querying for. I re-ran them to
populate again. I am able to get what I looked for. Thanks a lot for the help!
