System Recovery 21-22-23 Command Line

[jon3]

Hi,

Is their any command lines (command prompt) I can run to see the status/history of backups for System Recovery Desktop?

No directly afaik, but you can use powershell to achive that.

Are their powershell commands for me to generate reports or get backup status and info?

In the product ZIP file there is a folder called Docs\Automation\PowershellScripts. Take a look there.

Query_History.ps1 is available. It is in \Docs\Automation\PowershellScripts in the VSR install media. Copy Query_History.ps1 to your local disk.

To run it, open a powershell window or run "powershell" on Command Prompt.
After that, run below.

powershell -executionpolicy bypass <path>\Query_History.ps1

Note: <path> is a path where you put Query_History.ps1.

The latest backup history is popped up.

Also, if you would like to change the output from the popup message to the message in powershell, please add "#" at the beginning of 45th and 46th lines in Query_History.ps1, and add "write-host $Msg" in 47th line, and save the file. And run "powershell -executionpolicy bypass <path>\Query_History.ps1".

If you would like to save the message as a file, run "powershell -executionpolicy bypass <path>\Query_History.ps1 > C:\temp\history.txt".

history.txt is created in C:\temp, and the latest backup history is stored in it.
