Hi everyone, I'm using Veeam for quite a while now but recently we added some NetApp ONTAP devices to the storage infrastructure. And for each also a NAS Filer object under unstructured data. I can select a NAS Filer and create a file backup job easily. But I want to automate this if possible.

I can use Get-NetAppHost to get the ONTAP device and then use Get-VBRUnstructuredServer combined with Get-VBRNASServerPath but I can't link it all together… Also, when I look at an already configured job I cannot reverse engineer this to usable PS code.

Can someone point me in the right direction to create a file backup job of a share on a NAS filer with PowerShell?

Hi ​@Jeroen Buren EFCI welcome to the Community. I've not seen anyone attempt the task you're hoping to achieve on here.

@Madi.Cristil ​@safiya maybe this post would best be served under the Script Library page.

Thank you. 


The following link contains all the commands for NetApp devices and none of them reference jobs, however, I am sure if you combine them with the Unstructured Data backup commands you can put something together.
