Restart-VSS.ps1 Script

One thing I’ve found as a Veeam customer is you often have to restart the VSS services on your SQL and other VSS aware servers. Here’s a script I wrote to do just that.# Name: Restart-VSS.ps1# Description: Restarts list of services in an array on VMs with a given vSphere tag. Helpful for Veeam B&R processing# For more info on Veeam VSS services that may cause failure see https://www.veeam.com/kb2041Import-Module VMware.PowerCLI$vcenter = "vcenter.domain.com"$services = @("SQLWriter","VSS")$tag = "myAwesomeTag"Connect-VIServer $vcenter$vms = Get-VM |where {$_.Tag -ne $tag}ForEach ($vm in $vms){ ForEach ($service in $services){ If (Get-Service -ComputerName $vm -Name $service -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { Write-Host $service "on computer" $vm "restarting now." Restart-Service -InputObject $(Get-Service -Computer $vm -Name $service); } }}

Enable/Disable Health Checks for Multiple Jobs

Hello again, everyone! Just sharing another useful PowerShell script to enable/disable Health Checks for multiple jobs. It’s handy whenever you have a large number of jobs which all need to be adjusted and would take a significant amount of time to do so. Usually I wouldn’t share such a short script, but the way to locate and adjust this particular option in a job via PowerShell can be a little confusing if you’re a PowerShell novice.I decided to provide multiple examples for editing various job types and not just an all-or-nothing approach. I hope someone finds these useful! If I missed anything, please let me know and I’ll include it.NOTE: These are all examples of how to disable Health Checks. To flip it around to have it enable Health Checks, simply change $false to $true. For ALL jobs:Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinueforeach ($job in Get-VBRJob) { $options = Get-VBRJobOptions -Job $job $options.GenerationPolicy.EnableRechek = $false Set-VBRJob

[Bash Shell Script] How to Secure your Veeam Backup for AWS v2 instance with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate

Hello everyone, today I bring you one more step on how to correctly secure our instance of Veeam Backup for AWS v2.To do this we will rely on Let’s Encrypt, the famous open-source project that allows us to generate free SSL certificates.NOTE: This process is not officially supported by Veeam, and any consequence of following the steps incorrectly, or any incidence derived from these steps will leave us without support. We will have to deploy the appliance again, keep that in mind!Where shall I run this Script?My recommendation will be to run it from a Linux VM, Container, or similar that you have already on your on-prem, or in the Cloud. As a last alternative, not supported of course, is to follow these steps inside the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance itself.Installation of system requirementsTo make it all work we’re going to need a couple of packages to do all this automatically:jq The necessary Let’s Encrypt packagesTo install jq, we will launch the following command:sudo apt-get ins

Veeam Usage Report for VMware Cloud Director

The PowerShell script to retrieve Veeam backup usage for VMware Cloud Director (VCD) Organizations is now available on VeeamHub! Below is a brief description of its functionality. For more detailed information, please follow the VeeamHub link.For each organization, the following is provided:Total number of VMs in backups Total amount of space used in repositoriesThe usage data can be aggregated on the Organization-level or the Org VDC-level. This is useful when backups for different Org VDCs are billed differently.The scope of the usage returned is also customizable. It can be limited to self-service backups, created by the Veeam Self-Service Portal (VSSP) for VCD, or it can also include backups created directly on the backup server by the provider.NOTE: Before using this script in a production environment, I recommend you verify that numbers match up to your environment. This script uses undocumented API calls that are subject to change.https://github.com/VeeamHub/powershell/tree/mast

Restore Same Folder/Files From Multiple Backups

First time sharing, so feedback is much appreciated, but please excuse my code if it’s not up to par with those who have a lot more experience with Powershell than I. I recently had a client who -- for legal purposes -- needed to restore the same folder from two month’s worth of backups. Running 61 File Level Restores in the GUI seemed like a nightmare, so he opened a case asking if there was an easier way. Unfortunately, through the GUI there’s really not an easier way, but this sounded like a perfect scenario for leveraging some Veeam PowerShell cmdlets. I soon discovered that the FLR cmdlets don’t have functionality that supports a ‘Copy To’ feature like you’d get in the GUI, so I had to leverage what Veeam cmdlets we do have and then add in some good old basic PowerShell commands to then pull the data from the mount point (C:\VeeamFLR\ by default) and move it to the target, then loop through n-number of times based on the user input.Here’s what I came up with. I’m still working on

Enable Snapshot-Only Jobs for Secondary Storage Array for Pure Storage FlashArray with This Post-Job Script

VBR integration for storage systems supports several useful features that optimize backup performance. Unfortunately for those systems built on the Universal Storage API (USAPI) some of those features are not yet available. One specific feature that is missing is the ability to orchestrate array-based snapshots on a secondary storage array.I’ve written a PowerShell script to be used as a post-job VBR script along with snapshot-only jobs for Pure Storage FlashArray which will replicate Veeam created array snapshots to a secondary FlashArray. It will also ensure that those snapshots are visible in the VBR console and available for recovery tasks including Instant VM recovery, Guest Files recovery, and Application Item Recovery. Download Invoke-PfaSendSnapAfterVBRJob.ps1 from GitHub. Detailed setup instructions. This script has been designed to work both with VBR v10 VeeamPSSnapIn as well as the brand new VBR v11 PowerShell Toolkit.

Create least privilege VBO Azure AD applications without using VBO

Here’s a script I wrote to create Azure AD applications for VBO usage aside from creating the app from within VBO itself.I experienced that this is not always easy to do (Global Admin using VBO to create an app, or having the Global Admin read the documentation and create the application with the right permissions, etc… on his own), so I hope my script can help here. Check out my blog article on it at VBO365: Create Azure AD applications automatically with least priviliges – Z8NAnd the script itself is available on Github: veeam/vbo-create-azure-ad-app.ps1 at master · StefanZi/veeam (github.com)

VeeamHub?

Not to be a negative nelly, but don’t we already have github.com/veeamhub as a repository that is purpose built for this type of content, managed by people who know code? Can we not push community script additions there rather than turning them into effectively forum posts?

Improvement Idea: SureBackup & Pre/Post Repositories

Hey, Don’t know about you guys but I feel Veeam are missing what could be a very successful trick here with their SureBackup and Pre/Post Processing script functionalities. I know we have VeeamHub for some PowerShell scripts but I think to really push the value of Veeam integrating into our customers’ enterprise application stacks it would be great to have a more direct interface of getting scripts into Veeam. I’ve seen plenty of systems integrating “stores” or other web fronts to enable simple access. It’d be great to see ways of integrating with systems that have been seen as “traditionally” unfriendly to snapshoting and also to validate more complex workloads.I’m sure there are plenty of great scripts out there that just aren’t being shared due to lack of visibility of the existing platforms but driving it into the client would really improve feature take up. That’s my opinion anyway, how do you all feel about this? Wouldn’t you like vendors to be able to offer a one click “it just

[PowerShell] Veeam ONE notifications via MS Teams and Slack

Veeam ONE is a complete monitoring system for VMware, Hyper-V, Veeam and even at the application level being able to monitor VM services and processes running Microsoft Windows, without the need to install any agent, and all through API.As @Rick Vanover usually says, Veeam ONE will surely tell us more than one thing about our environment that we don't know, and Rick is right, with several hundred metrics that Veeam ONE collects, added to the several dozen reports that are included by default, Veeam ONE is that co-worker that we all would like to have in our IT team.Veeam ONE allows you to create notifications for each predetermined alarm or alarms that we create ourselves. While it is true that email notifications are the most basic and the ones we probably configure by default, sadly, it is true that email has become a tool overloaded with daily content, and most likely if a critical alarm falls in a folder or inbox along with 150 other emails, it will not pay the attention it require
