When I run the Get-VeeamBackupStatus script I get the following error. The parameters seem to be correct.

<Prtg>
1
An exception occurred while trying to process backups: Execution environment cannot be initialized to Remote

Anyone have an idea?

Script return error if the field "NextRun" of a backup job is setting "After JobName"

Andrea

Hi,

I read the guide, installed the B&R console and put the Get-VeeamBackupStatus.ps1 script and corresponding lookup into place. A Windows user who has the Veeam Backup Administrator role is saved in the device which I added the sensor to and the sensor is set to "use Windows credentials of upstream device".
Now when the sensor does a query, I get the following result:

DEBUG: Entered Main
DEBUG: Entered [VeeamBackupStatus]::GetStatus
DEBUG: Entered [VeeamBackupStatus]::GetStatusInternal
DEBUG: -Loading Veeam PSSnapIn
DEBUG: -Connecting to Veeam Backup Server
<Prtg>
    <Error>1</Error>
    <Text>An exception occurred while trying to process backups: Access to the path 'Veeam\Backup' is denied.</Text>
</Prtg>

If I run a powershell on the probe system as the above-mentioned user, and execute the script with the same parameters as entered in the PRTG sensor, it returns the backup data as intended. Also, in the same PS session, Connect-VBRServer works fine.

The path in the error message ('Veeam\Backup') looks like a substring of the path to the Veeam PS SnapIn ("C:\Program Files*Veeam\Backup* and Replication\Console\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.psd1"), although, according to the DEBUG entry above, the SnapIn was already loaded when the error is returned.

I am at a loss here. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

We also use schedules that run after other backups (parent jobs). These lead to this error.
As a work a round I have included the following in the script to intercept the call:
if ($this.job.ParentScheduleId -eq $null -or $this.job.ParentScheduleId -eq ""){
...[TimeFormatter]::GetNextBackupStartTimeText($epSchedule.NextRun)
}

It would be nicer if the schedule could be read from the parent job.

I'm using this script to check the status for 2 Backup Jobs and 1 Backup Copy Job running on Veeam 12
Both the Probe and the Backup Server are 2019 in the same domain.

I have no Problem with the backup Jobs and I'm getting the corrct results in PRTG
Howerver I can't figure out the Problem with the Backup Copy Job and keep getting the error "Could not find a handler for job type"

1st I thought the Problem is because the Backup Copy Job is set to run after one of the backup Jobs (as new restore Point appears) so I changed the setting and set it to run separately on a different day, but that didn't solve the problem.
Any Idea how to solve this?

Hi there!

I am new using PRTG and this is the first custom sensor I've added.
No matter if I type double quotation marks or single ones when I set up the sensor, I always get the error:

"Please specify the name of a backup job. If the job name contains spaces, surround the name in double quotation marks."

It gets well the name of the server and credentials though.

How could I check what's wrong or any other idea?

Thanks in advance,

A.

Hi,

I'm getting an error while reading Windows Agent Backup in Veeam. The following error im getting: An exception occurred while trying to process backups: The term 'TapeJob::GetAll' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

It's a separate backup job based on Windows Agent Backup

Any suggestions?
