$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut | Where-Object Ĭheck out my previous post on Veeam here.įind out more about Veeam and capacity tier information here. If you have more than one Scale out repository use this: Add-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapin
The post is for Veeam version 9.5 update 4 / 4a, keep in mind Veeam could change the caveats and features in future releases.Therefore, Veeam must initiate the full backup itself based on the backup or backup copy job settings. Selecting “Active Full” does not count towards the father, grandfather retention.Veeam waits until the old backups have a separate full backup. Even if you set the local retention for one day, the SOBR Tiering job will not necessarily offload.In addition, you set how long the backup files stay in the local scale out repositories in the settings for the scale out repository.Work with Veeam backup & replication V7 to V9.5 Work with Zabbix 3.X (english template only for V3.X) & 4. These will be the ‘father’ or ‘grandfather’ tier backup files. This template use the VEEAM Backup & Replication PowerShell Cmdlets to discover and manage VEEAM Backup jobs, Veeam BackupSync, Veeam Tape Job, Veeam Endpoint Backup Jobs, All Repositories and Veeam Services. The job will only push incremental and full backups to your capacity tier once the files are not primary in the scale out repository.Start-VBRCapacityTierSync -Repository $repositoryĪfter the job runs the output looks like this: $repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut It is clearly listed on Veeam’s help site.įinally, here is the Powershell command(s) that I used to initiate a SOBR Tiering job. Next, I found out that there is a Powershell command built in that will allow you to start Veeam SOBR job. First off, this job will periodically run every four hours as set by Veeam. If you are using a scale out repository with Veeam and have setup that repository with object cloud storage, then you may notice a SOBR tiering job. How to start Veeam SOBR job? Note: this is for Veeam version 9.5 update 4 / 4a.
