Examples

Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem Example 1. Getting All Backups of a Specific SAP HANA Database

This example returns all backups of a specific SAP HANA database.

$session = Get-VEHANARestoreSession

$system = Get-VEHANASystem -Session $session[0]

$database = (Get-VEHANADatabase -System $system)[0]

$backup = Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem -Database $database

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEHANARestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the first restore session in the array.

Run the Get-VEHANASystem cmdlet. Set the first restore session in the $session variable as the Session parameter value.
Run the Get-VEHANADatabase cmdlet and set the $system variable as the System parameter value. Select the necessary database returned by this command and save it to the $database variable. In our example, it is the first database in the array.
Run the Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem cmdlet and set the $database variable as the Database parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets.

Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem Example 2. Getting Backups of a SAP HANA Database made in a Specified Time Frame

This command returns all backups of an SAP HANA database made within the last 30 days.

$session = Get-VEHANARestoreSession

$system = Get-VEHANASystem -Session $session[0]

$database = (Get-VEHANADatabase -System $system)[0]

$fromutc = ((Get-Date).AddDays(-30)).ToUniversalTime()

$toutc = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()

Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem -Database $database -FromUTC $fromutc -ToUTC $toutc -Limit 5

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEHANARestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the first restore session in the array.

Run the Get-VEHANASystem cmdlet. Set the first restore session in the $session variable as the Session parameter value.
Run the Get-VEHANADatabase cmdlet and set the $system variable as the System parameter value. Select the necessary database returned by this command and save it to the $database variable. In our example, it is the first database in the array.
Run the Get-Date cmdlet to get the current date. Subtract 30 days from this date and convert it to UTC time. Save the result to the $fromutc variable.
Run the Get-Date cmdlet to get the current date. Convert it to UTC time. Save the result to the $fromutc variable.
Run the Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem cmdlet and set the $database variable as the Database parameter value. Set the $fromutc variable as the FromUTC parameter value and set the $toutc variable as the ToUTC parameter value. Use the Limit parameter to specify the number of backups returned by the cmdlet.

Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem Example 3. Getting the Latest Backup of a Specific SAP HANA Database

This command returns the latest available backup in the backup catalog of the specified database.

$session = Get-VEHANARestoreSession

$system = Get-VEHANASystem -Session $session

$database = (Get-VEHANADatabase -System $system)[0]

$backup = Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem -Database $database -Last

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VEHANARestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore job. In our example, it is the first restore job in the array.

Run the Get-VEHANASystem cmdlet. Set the first restore session in the $session variable as the Session parameter value.
Run the Get-VEHANADatabase cmdlet and set the $system variable as the System parameter value. Select the necessary database returned by this command and save it to the $database variable. In our example, it is the first database in the array.
Run the Get-VEHANABackupCatalogItem cmdlet, set the $database variable as the Database parameter value, and provide the Last parameter. Save the result to the $backup variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets.
