Hi All,

I need to get last 24 hours backup status using VBR API. we are using vBR 12.x.

We have below backup types
1. VM
2. Agent based (Windows,Linux)
3. RMAN plugin

Output columns - server name,job name, start, end, size, status

Can you please get me the API call for all the backup types (Including agent, plugin backups).

Below API calls only fetching VM backups not agent, plugin based

Fetch backup job session: `GET /api/v1/sessions?limit=10000&typeFilter=BackupJob`
Fetch Per-VM Task Sessions: `GET /api/v1/sessions/{sessionId}/taskSessions?limit=10000`





Regards,
Surya

HI ​@Surya ,

maybe its worth checking out https://github.com/marcohorstmann/MyVeeamReport

It will give you a great overlook over all backup-jobs within a defined timeframe.

Hi ​@CMF 

 

Is it using VBR REST API?

Hi ​@Surya ,

Its a Power shell Script that runs against your vbr Server and will deliver a Report on all kind of backup jobs. You can configure what type of jobs and time period you need.

I just put your request in chatgpt and got back a script to do this.  So it is easy enough to do just copy your request and see.

I have tried above methods but it is not giving solution to fetch the agent based and RMAN plugin based script.

 

If you find it out, please share the APIs for fetching agent based and RMAN plugin backup details.

Agent Backups are in the script (check Config File) :

in Version 13 those are all kind of jobs supported by REST-API

If you run RMAN from within the Oracle then all scheduling etc. is handled by the Oracle Server and are just shown within VBR. Maybe it would make sense to get the information about backup status from within Oracle insted?

If you do normal backup with application-aware backup for Oracle it should be seen within the veeam scheduled job if it was successful or not. 

Here the REST-API reference for veeam12

maybe its possible to get information via the REST-API vie Enterprise Manager?
