They will resume, or retry, each failed Backup job and Replication Job:
The following commands check the status of each Backup and Replication Job. It requires a few simple steps, and can be automated by adding the following PowerShell commands to the post-failover script: To accomplish the automatic resumption after a failover, you can use Veeam PowerShell to initiate the resumption of failed backup jobs. To accomplish a complete High Availability solution for the Veeam Backup server, it is important that after the failover has happened, the Replica Veeam backup server automatically resumes the backup jobs. Or you could use the VMware vSphere replication Tool One of the ways to protect the Veeam Backup server, and to offer High Availability to the Veeam Backup server, is to replicate the backup server using the Veeam Backup & Replication product. However, you might also like to have an HA function for its convenience. You can read more about the steps on this link. The reason is probably that the simplicity of deploying and recovering the backup server might you such an option redundant. The script will not execute on the system.What are your options if you wish to automate the resumption of backup jobs on your Veeam Backup server after a failover? Is there a way to automatically resume your backup jobs after switching over to the Veeam Backup server?Īs you may be aware, Veeam does not offer an “out-of-the-box” High Availability function for it own backup server.

File Name (Allows you to determine if the job was a full or incremental run).Index (1 = the last backup sesion, 2 = the day before that, etc).The resulting script gets the following info for you: I then added a few more features, as well as some nice HTML formatting and the ability to grab statistics for all jobs instead of just one sample job.
(Thanks Thomas!) We got a script together that was able to match up sessions correctly. Before I was able to resolve this myself, help arrived from “ThomasMc” over at the Veeam Community Forums. I wanted to build a report, that would loop through every single Veeam B&R Job we have, and grab data from the last 7 backup sessions of each (daily backups), therefore giving me a good idea of both full backup and incremental backup runs performance, times taken etc… My first attempt at a script got me almost all the way there (tried during spare time in my evenings!) – I was however having trouble matching backup session data with the right day’s backup file stats – sometimes the ordering was out, and I would get metrics back for a backup file that was not from the correct day. I read the basic documentation and got acquainted with a few simple cmdlets. First ideas were to either somehow grab the info via SQL queries from the Veeam database, or to rather take a sampling of 10-20 different types of jobs and their backup sessions over one normal incremental run day, and one normal full backup day (Manually collecting this data from email reports would be quite a slow process).Īfter browsing around the Veeam Community Forums I suddenly remembered that there was a PowerShell module that Veeam Include with B&R.
After searching around a bit first I could not find any current solution or built in method to retrieve the info I needed to collect in a quick or automated way. The environment has roughly 70 scheduled jobs thats run either daily or weekly. The other day I was asked to collect some statistics on our Veeam Backup & Recovery server from as many VM Backup jobs as possible.
