Diagramming the Veeam Backup & Replication Infrastructure

Could you run these cmdlet and send me the logs again?

update-Module Diagrammer.core -force    

update-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -force

Import-Module Diagrammer.Core -Force 

Import-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -Force

 Enable powershell debugging:

$global:VerbosePreference = 'Continue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'Continue'
Start-Transcript -Path .\Output.log
New-VeeamDiagram -Target <-- change this part -->
Stop-Transcript

The commands generate the Output.log file which you can send to me at:

jcolonf@zenprsolutions.com

After saving the log, reset powershell to default settings:

$global:VerbosePreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

update-Module Diagrammer.core -force    

update-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -force

Import-Module Diagrammer.Core -Force 

Import-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -Force

$global:VerbosePreference = 'Continue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'Continue'
Start-Transcript -Path .\Output.log
New-VeeamDiagram -Target <-- change this part -->
Stop-Transcript

$global:VerbosePreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

Ran those commands and created a new log which was emailed.  The report seem to generate this time but there was still a message in the log.  Let me know if there is anything else required.  @jcolonfzenpr 

update-Module Diagrammer.core -force    

update-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -force

Import-Module Diagrammer.Core -Force 

Import-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -Force

$global:VerbosePreference = 'Continue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'Continue'
Start-Transcript -Path .\Output.log
New-VeeamDiagram -Target <-- change this part -->
Stop-Transcript

$global:VerbosePreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

So, no diagram was generated?

If you run this cmdlet in your lab does it produce any results?

Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut | Sort-Object -Property Name

@jcolonfzenpr - no the Backup-Infrastructure diagram worked this time after doing the update commands.  I have a PDF that was generated showing my VBR in my lab.  Sorry for the confusion.

update-Module Diagrammer.core -force    

update-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -force

Import-Module Diagrammer.Core -Force 

Import-Module Veeam.Diagrammer -Force

$global:VerbosePreference = 'Continue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'Continue'
Start-Transcript -Path .\Output.log
New-VeeamDiagram -Target <-- change this part -->
Stop-Transcript

$global:VerbosePreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$global:DebugPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'

after updating the modules and run New-VeeamDiagram -Target srv-veeam-01 -Username Administrator -DiagramType Backup-Infrastructure -Format pdf,png -OutputFolderPath 'C:\Users\administrator\Downloads' again, the result with Backup-Infrastructure is now working as expected. 

Wow, thanks 😍 Do you still need some logs from my side?

I wonder why you get this error in the SOBR section?

TerminatingError(ForEach-Object): "You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression."

Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut | Sort-Object -Property Name

Did you get any output from this command?

Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut | Sort-Object -Property Name

Yeah I get output from that command. @jcolonfzenpr

Hello,

Thanks for the tools.

I m going to test it for sure :)

1. @jcolonfzenpr First for this work, it’s really helpfull :)
2. I would like to know why I have this symbol on my script execution ? 

3. 

   I don’t find a way to generate all graph in 1 command. It’s an improvement idea with something like -DiagramType All to get them all with different export file name ^^ .

regarding your 3rd point, try -DiagramType Backup-Infrastructure :-)

Thanks for your answer.
I already tried it but this doesn’t do this ^^

maybe you have the same issues like @Chris.Childerhose and me.
Please check some posts earlier. We’ve already sent @jcolonfzenpr some logs and he could solve it →

I understand your error was diagramme was not générateur ? 

Mine is generated fine but I don t have file proxy in the infrastructure type. I have repository, vmware proxy and object storage.

Is it the error you have ?

1. The backup infrastructure diagram does not yet have file proxy server objects.

2. I wonder why the backup server section shows the Enterprise Manager and not the Backup Server object. Do you happen to have all those services installed on the same server?

Thanks for your answer !

1) OK, that means today I need to execute several cmdlet to get all the schema :)

2)Yes both are installed on the same server in my homelab.

Thank you @jcolonfzenpr for sharing such great script :-)

I have made several improvements to the module, if any of you can help me with the tests I would appreciate it, I will improve this tool little by little!

Great to hear.  I will give it a test tomorrow Jonathan. 👍

@jcolonfzenpr -- ran the updates.  Everything good and reports work very well.  No issues so far.

I'm glad everything ran smoothly.
Thank you for your help!

Not a problem at all.  Always here to help and test things out. 😎

Wow, I’ve just discovered this project. Going to put it on my todo list of things to get running!

from my side as well, update -> works like a charm. 
Great work <3 

Thanks for your help!

Hello @jcolonfzenpr,

I’ve tryed to made update, but 'Backup-Infrastructure’ result with error and don’t create output.

Thanks for your reply.
