Load Veeam Backup & Replication events

Veeam Historic collection uses PowerShell commands to get client, job, session and backup data for a given time span defined by advanced parameters.

The following are the advanced parameters used in the process.

  1. Set Advanced Parameter VEEAM_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_DAYS to the number of days. Also specify the Data Collector and the Host Name(s) for which the historical data must be collected.

  2. Set Advanced Parameter VEEAM_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_OVERRIDE=Y. Also specify the Data Collector and the Host Name(s) for which the historical data must be collected.

    Note:

    For more information on RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_OVERRIDE and RMAN_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_DAYS, see IT Analytics User Guide >> Customizing with Advance Parameter >> Adding an advance parameter section.

    Configuring these parameters, the normal collection (scheduled or on-demand) works as a historic collection. With these parameters, collection probes such as Client Details, Job Details, Session, and Backup Details can be executed to get the historic data.

  3. Navigate to Admin >> Data Collection >> Collector Administration.

  4. Select Veeam Backup & Replication Data Collection policy and then click Run.

    See Working with on-demand Data Collection.

  5. Reset VEEAM_BACKUP_LOOKBACK_OVERRIDE=N (or the default values) once the Collection Run is complete to avoid historic data collection on future scheduled or On Demand runs,
