So one of the things that I always find interesting with each new Veeam Backup & Replication release is the additions to the PowerShell cmdlets list. PowerShell was first introduced to the VBR universe with version 7 and with each release we have got more and more commands to play with. It still hurts me to this day that they haven’t converted their Snap-In to a module yet but to quote my daughter’s teacher, you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.
In the spirt of this curiosity I decided to do a little differential fun with 9.5 update 4 and the soon to be GA version 10 Snap-Ins. I’m not going to bore you with all the commands and stuff that led us to here but if you want to reproduce any of this consider my work shown:
asnp VeeamPSSnapin
#On 9.5u4 Server
Get-Command | where {$_.Source -eq "VeeamPSSnapin"} | select Name | Export-Csv -Path "desktop\95commands.csv"
#On 10 Server
Get-Command | where {$_.Source -eq "VeeamPSSnapin"} | select Name | export-csv -Path .\Desktop\10commands.csv"
#load the 2 csv files as reference objects in the hash table
$objects = @{
ReferenceObject = (Get-Content -Path '.\OneDrive\Desktop\95commands.csv')
DifferenceObject = (Get-Content -Path '.\OneDrive\Desktop\10commands.csv')
}
#Compare the objects
$new10commands = Compare-Object @objects
#make a new variable to only give you the new items in v10, saving only the commands and export to file
$new10 = $new10commands | where {$_.SideIndicator -eq '=>'} | select InputObject
$new10 | Export-Csv -Path '.\OneDrive\Desktop\newcommandsonly.csv'
#let's see how many there are!
$new10 | Measure-Object
#finally let's get a variable with the commands and their descriptions from get-help and export that
$descriptions = foreach ($command in $new10) {get-help $command.InputObject | select name,description}
$descriptions | fl > difference.txt
So with the hard work now out of the way we are left with the question, what’s new? Quite a lot actually as there are 736 commands in 9.5 update 4 and and 920 commands in v10, leaving us with a total of 186 new or changed commands. A look at these provides a good idea of where the focus is in this release, lots of “cloudy” things, NAS items and license management. With the releases and now updates to how Veeam Universal Licensing works automated management just makes sense. I am very happy to see all kinds of new commands related to the SureBackup features as the automation capabilities for this have always been sorely lacking. From the looks of things I can now create my virtual lab, create applications groups and sure backup jobs, actually edit them some using Set commands, and start and stop jobs at will. This is going to lead to a more robust capability to script out your environment and then turn it around into a virtual lab appliance, something needed for consistency.
All that being said my end in the script above was to give a list of each new command and it’s description. So without further comment here they are.

You can run this cmdlet when data on the extents is corrupted or you want to restore data to the
specific point-in-time. Every time when data is moved to object storage, a checkpoint is created on
object storage. The checkpoints that have been created before are not overwritten and are stored in
object storage, so multiple restore points are created. You can use these restore points to specify the
necessary point-in-time and restore data to a specific state.
When you run the Sync-VBRSOBREntityState cmdlet, Veeam Backup & Replication performs the following
actions to synchronize data:
1. Removes backups and their metadata indexes stored on the extents of scale-out backup
repositories.
2. Downloads metadata and metadata indexes of backups that are stored in the object storage to the
extents of scale-out backup repositories for the specified period of time. The backups are not
downloaded to the extents of scale-out backup repositions and are stored in object storage.
Run the Get-VBRCapacityTierSyncInterval cmdlet to get details on checkpoints available in object storage
for a specific period of time.
