New to Veeam and its offerings, wanted to know if anyone can point me to some resources that I can read/use/reference for getting started with scripting with Veeam 12? 

Thanks!

I used the Veeam PowerShell reference to get used to the command structure and cmdlets and then went from there to write a few scripts like job status and stuff.

Also if you Google there is a ton of stuff out there for Veeam and PS.  Also we have scripting here on the community.

i would suggest to use chatgpt to deploy scripts, if you know what you would like to achieve. If you has knowledge about scripting, then is easy way …

for inspiration i would suggest same as Chris, here in community, where you can ask as well to help you to fix the issues...

There’s a huge repository of Powershell code you can copy at https://github.com/veeamhub

Claude.ai is another good one as well for scripting as I have used that one lately.

The forum has a dedicated section for PowerShell. They are a friendly bunch as well.
