Need help on how to script an "alternate location" backup for a specific server (VM) weekly
Hello, this is my first post, I do browse the forums everyweek though. ;) Here's my problem, I do this very manual "restore" to an alternate location for a server that needs a second backup copy every single week, (with different host (VM), different display name, etc). I was wondering if it was possible to script/schedule this sort of backup to happen weekly. Right now it is very time consuming and laborous to do this every week and was wondering if any shortcuts were available. Let me know if its possible to script something like that! Thanks, etn
Automate / Script System Recovery Policy Creation
Hi Gurus, Would like to seek for your advice regarding our current situation - deploy VSR 2016 on 3 sites with about 80 - 200 machines each. No VSR central management. Backup will be dumped to shared drive. We've gone past the installation part, but I would like to ask for your advice / suggestions how to go about automating / scripting creation of backup policies. Only a handful will have peculiar backup selection/destination/retention, so it would be extremely helpful if we can automate creation of policies for similar machines.

BEMCLI Submit-BELinuxMacRestoreJob Use Backup Set From tape
Hi, We have a backup job that backupsto disk. Then we have a stage that duplicate the data to tape. This works perfectly well. We are trying to make a daily script that will restore the backup set that was duplicated to the tape and run a validation script on it. Right now we have this: $sGUID = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().toString() $x = Get-BEStorage -name "Drive 01" $objBEJobhistory = GET-BEjobhistory -JobStatus Succeeded -JobType Duplicate -Name "xxxxxx" -FromLastJobRun â $objBEjob = Submit-BELinuxMacRestoreJob -JobHistory $objBEJobhistory -Storage $x -LinuxMacSelection "/" -RedirectToPath "e:\temp\$sGUID" -AutomaticallyDeleteJob WhenComplete | Wait-BEJob The first problem we have is that the restore is made from the disk instead of the tape. Even if we fed the cmdlet with the job history of the duplicate job and even by forcing the -Storage param. What are we de doing wrong ? What we are trying to achieve with the cli, is easily doable in the GUI. If we click restore, I choose "Files and folder backups from a backup set". Basically, I want to choose a specific backup set and restore only the files that are in that specific backup set. Not all the files up to thatpoint in time... Any help wouldbe appreciated. Thanks in advance â âBackup Exec 2015 Post command XML Report
Hi, I am trying to implement a custom "verify job" using a BEMCLI in the "POST COMMAND" config option. I call it using "powershell c:\bat\myscript.ps1" and it gets called so everything works fine. The problem I am having is that I need to be able to parse the xml report that is generated during the job I saw the job ID was set as an environment variable so I read it using sJobID = $env:BE_JOB_ID There is also a second environment variable which is $sXmlFileName = $env:VSR_LOG_FILE_NAME which seems to be the temporary xml report (The name looks like C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data\VSR_Log_File1.xml" But I can't find the data I need in the reports. It seems the report gets saved AFTER the post command is completed so the file BEX_SERVER06_00025.xml (number gets incremented on each run) is not available... I've been playing with Get-BEJob -id $sJobID | Get-BEJobHistory -FromLastJobRun | Get-BEJobLog Without success... Is there a way to retrieve what files were backuped during the post command phase ? I need to return an error if my custom verify finds something invalid so that the job state is switched to "failed". Any help would be appreciated. Regards
