The code may still not be optimised as best as it could be and the report may be a bit rough and ready but it seems to work okay for me. I am utilising Powershell version 5 on one of my systems but have also tested this utilising Powershell version 4. It also means that my report should always include all of the virtual machines in the report. For my lab environment, I back up the virtual machines by datastore rather than adding individual backups to a job, this means that all of my virtual machines are automatically added to the backup jobs once a new virtual machine is created. The Veeam survey also asked specifically about Office 365 and found that about one-third (37) of respondents use backup other than that provided by native features, so-called cloud-to-cloud backup. Other key items to be aware of with this, is that I am utilising Veeam 9.5 to run the report against, the report still needs to be run on the Veeam server itself but should run significantly quicker than previous reports, as it is just referencing the information in Veeam rather than connecting to vCenter. This means that it should be easier to identify if there are any issues. When running a backup job, Veeam Backup & Replication saves the data and metrics to the configuration database, allowing you to view real-time statistics and. Backup failures are highlighted Red, VMs that end with a Warning status are highlighted Yellow and if a virtual machine has not been backed up at all (or is new), then you’ll see a blank next to the name on the days that it hasn’t been backed up. Veeam Backup & Replication 11 Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Guide. To review a report: In the monthly usage report notification, click. The Add Object option returns only the selected object. You can review a monthly usage report before sending it to Veeam. The Add Group option returns a group and all objects that the group contains. This screenshot is taken from my lab environment with some forced failures. Scope: defines a list of Veeam Backup & Replication servers that will be analyzed in the report (by default, the Veeam Backup Server Group is selected).
The comparison between my old report and my new report are shown below:Īs you can see from the screenshot, the look of the new report is more modern.

After looking around at what other people were doing, I stumbled across the work that Shawn Masterson has been doing with his ‘Veeam v9 – My Veeam Report v9.5.3’ ( ) and I was then able to utilise some of his great work to create an updated version of my report as a full Weekly Backup Report. For more information on data collection, see Collecting. Status of the last data collection job session for the backup server. For each backup server, the report contains the following data. That report has been useful for a couple of years but I felt that I could do better, without having to link back to the vCenter server quite so much. On the Reports tab, you can view statistical information about backup servers added to the Enterprise Manager infrastructure. Back in 2015, I created a 3-day Backup Report for Veeam that was based on the ‘SysAdmin Modular Report’ (SAMReport) – this is the link to the original post for that report:
