What else is new in Veeam B&R v10 (PowerShell snapin)

We already covered demo code for creating an advanced virtual lab during VeeamON. My sample code for that is here: https://github.com/jhoughes/VeeamON2020PowerShell/blob/master/Session2/4_VirtualLabAutomation.ps1You can get more of an explanation of it from the video of Part 2 of “Veeam Automation with PowerShell Deep-Dive: Configuration, Reporting, & Testing… Oh My!”.If you don’t have access to the videos from VeeamOn 2020, there are links to the unlisted full-res copies which are in the README of my code repository.

What Automation tools are you using?

The list has gotten longer… PowerShell, Ansible, Terraform, Bash, GitHub Actions, Gitlab, Circle CI, ArgoCD And getting back into Python after a few years.

Collaboration Request - Ansible Collection for the Veeam Backup & Replication RestAPI.

I can jump in on this if I can find some time. I am finishing out some other projects, starting a book, and helping @k00laidIT with another Veeam/PowerShell/API project, but will see if I have some cycles.

Automation can start small: PowerShell jobs creation

Not to just tag on to your content Rick, but I may have seen someone perform a demo or 2 around this before also. 😉I covered this in my VeeamON 2020 session video along with some explanation, for those who want to watch and follow along:Script: NewBackupShellJob.ps1 (GitHub)Video: Also, if anyone needs to be able to run some quick job comparisons by selecting a job to be your reference point, check out these scripts I wrote for VeeamON 2020 demos:Get-VeeamJobConfiguration.ps1 (GitHub)Run-VeeamJobComparison.ps1 (GitHub) If you want to see the video on how to use these scripts separately or in a pipeline, along with some quick background on advance functions check here: Cheers, hope it helps someone out.

Reporting on Database Backup jobs

Thanks for the kind words y’all, it makes me glad I saved the videos.All of my past presentations for Veeam and VMUG are here, covering PowerShell, APIs, Kubernetes, etc., if they help anyone out:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLxItxKPzAA4MWz2jFwOWfA/I even did an internal Veeam training that was like “PowerShell 101 for the Veeam SE”. I’ll dig it out of my archive and upload it as well.

December Chocolatey Month: Question of the day 19/12

B.) No, but you will receive a warning and must choose to continue. To prevent most issues, you must also use a non-default install location, and this is only intended for advanced users.Per the warning message: Chocolatey detected you are not running from an elevated command shell (cmd/powershell). You may experience errors - many functions/packages require admin rights. Only advanced users should run choco w/out an elevated shell. When you open the command shell, you should ensure that you do so with "Run as Administrator" selected. If you are attempting to use Chocolatey in a non-administrator setting, you must select a different location other than the default install location. See https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/choco/setup#non-administrative-install for details.

how do upgrade Veeam.Backup.Powershell to 1.0 or higher

No, the AsBuiltReport is updated to use the Veeam PowerShell Module, but it is not found on your system. You need to install the VBR Console to get this PowerShell module available to the ABR platform.If you want to understand the details, the specific issue you are running into is within the Get-AbrVbrRequiredModule function that is run to verify that you have VBR PowerShell installed.There are explicit messages that are thrown based on if you need to install versus upgrade: if ($ModuleVersion -eq ".") { throw "$Name $Version or higher is required to run the Veeam VBR As Built Report. Install the Veeam Backup & Replication console that provide the required modules." } if ($ModuleVersion -lt $Version) { throw "$Name $Version or higher is required to run the Veeam VBR As Built Report. Update the Veeam Backup & Replication console that provide the required modules." }Your error message from the screenshot means that the AsBuiltReport
