Hi,

 

We are thrilled to announce the general availability of AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR 1.0.0 — a comprehensive PowerShell module that generates professional as-built documentation reports for Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) infrastructure.

 

What is AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR?

AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR is a specialized report generator that plugs into the AsBuiltReport framework to automatically document your VBR environment. It produces multi-format reports (HTML, Word, Text) that capture the complete state of your backup infrastructure—from backup jobs and repositories to proxies, tape libraries integration, cloud gateways, and more.

 

Key Features

  • Report Sections — Comprehensive coverage of all VBR components including backup repositories, jobs, proxies, WAN accelerators, tape integration, and cloud connectivity
  • Diagram Types — Visual representations of your infrastructure, including backup-to-repository flows, proxy routing, and tape library topology
  • Flexible InfoLevel Configuration — Control reporting depth (summary, advanced, or detailed) per section
  • Health Checks — Highlight potential issues and non-optimal configurations with automated validation
  • Multiple Output Formats — Generate HTML, Word, or text reports with consistent styling
  • Diagram Customization — Three themes (White, Black, Neon) and export to PNG, SVG, or PDF

 

Supported Environments

  • VBR Versions: v12+ (Windows); VBR v13 (Windows and Appliance installs)
  • PowerShell: Windows PowerShell 5.1 for VBR v12; PowerShell 7 for VBR v13
  • Operating System: Windows, Linux with PowerShell 7 modules for VBR v13

 

Report Sample

Sample HTML File

 

Getting Started

To install the module, run:

Install-Module -Name AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR

 

Once installed, you can generate a report with:

New-AsBuiltReport -Report Veeam.VBR -Target <VBRServer> -Username <User> -Password <Password> -Format Html,Word -OutputFolderPath <Path>

 

To use the GUI (In Beta), simply run:

Start-AsBuiltReportVBR

 

 

Refer to the README for detailed usage instructions and examples.

 

Enjoy!

Having used previous versions of this app this looks amazing.  Love the GUI option even if beta so will be testing that for sure.   Let's jump in.   😜

Hey Jonathan. This is great! Thank you so much for further developing this awesome tool.

Does anyone have access to Cloud Connect? Unfortunately, my Homelab license has expired and I have no way to run tests in that environment :(

We run it and I can test with it Monday for you.

Hi again, I just implemented the current release in a VBR v13 VSA with HA deployment. Also tried the new GUI. What I can say so far: It’s like Veeam! It Just Works 😀 wow!


Maybe a feature request, If possible - in the Report there’s no Hint about the HA configuration (afaik or can see...). It would be very nice to see, which Nodes are Build the HA construct.

Great Job Jonathan! Thank you!
My vote for Blog of the month!
 

I will integrate the scheduled task for this later this week at this customers Installation and also the encrypted credentials. Both my customers, colleagues and me, we are sooooooo happy to have this back!

If the high-availability information can be retrieved using PowerShell or a REST API, it can be implemented. Could you share how you configure the schedule? I'd like to add that option so it can be configured in the GUI.

I would like to know if the Cloud Connect sessions proceed without errors and if the diagrams are generated.

What type of dedup appliance do you have because the Type field is blank?

I do this by using scheduled tasks within Windows. Preparing your whole PowerShell command into a single .PS1 file. Also, I use the option to encrypt the password in a XML file. 
I only used your well documented options 😉 Here’s my old step-by-step guide: Documentation by AsBuiltReport.

It’s a Dell DataDomain, with activated Retention Lock Compliance Mode.

Ok, let me test it and let you know.

Running on VCC server now and taking a while to collect data.  Going to let it run overnight and see tomorrow.  Will update you then.

It appears all fields are required. I will modify the form to specify which fields are required and which are not. Thank you for reporting the bug.

@jcolonfzenpr - So the VCC report completed and created the documents.  In the Window UI (Beta) I noticed the following warnings and quite a few of them (see below).  I did export the log in case you wanted it to check things, so please let me know.

[WARN] [ 08:56:58:480 ] [ Document ] - Unable to export the CloudConnectTenant Diagram: No Cloud Connect Tenant infrastructure available to diagram

A side note:

Many of the recent report enhancements, including v13 support, multilingual capabilities, and the new GUI, were developed with substantial help from AI. I have to admit, I am genuinely impressed by how far these tools have come. Work that once took me months can now be completed in minutes with AI support.

What do you think the workplace of the future will look like as artificial intelligence continues to evolve at this pace?

I know AI has helped me tremendously with documentation, scripting and many other things.  I think it is a good thing to help with your work when used correctly.
