Tasks

MP for Veeam Backup & Replication includes tasks that allow you to restart Veeam Backup & Replication jobs from the OpsMgr console. Tasks are targeted against the following types of jobs:

Backup Job

Replication Job
SureBackup Job
VM/File Copy Job

Tasks can be run in-context when a backup, replication, SureBackup or VM/File Copy job object is selected.

When you run a task against a job, MP for Veeam Backup & Replication triggers a PowerShell script on the Veeam Backup & Replication server that forces the job to restart. The result of the performed task can be viewed in the task output.

Tasks can be run in-context when a repository in the _All Backup Repositories as Extents by SOBR view is selected.

When you run a task against a scale-out backup repository extent, MP for Veeam Backup & Replication triggers a PowerShell script that forces the repository to enter or exit the OpsMgr Maintenance Mode. The result of the performed task can be viewed in the task output.
