First steps, connecting and starting a job

Connect-VBRServer -server 192.168.1.152 -Credential (get-credential -message "VBR" -UserName "Administrator")
Get-VBRJob
Get-VBRJob | select name,jobtype
Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 1"
Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 1" | Start-VBRJob
Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 1" | Start-VBRJob -RunAsync
Disconnect-VBRServer

The Last Session

Get-VBRBackupSession | Sort-Object -Property "EndTime" -Descending| select name,result,endtime

$job = get-vbrjob -Name "Backup Job 1"
$job.FindLastSession() | select name,result,state,endtime

Let's make a very simple report

import-module PowerStartHTML
$ps = New-PowerStartHTML -title "Hello PowerStartHTML!"

class JobStatus {
    $Name;$Run;$Result;$State;JobStatus($name,$run,$result,$state) { $this.Name = $name;$this.Run = $run;$this.result = $result;$this.state = $state;}
}
$jobs = get-vbrjob
$table = @()
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
    $last = $job.FindLastSession()
    if ($last -ne $null) {
        $table += new-object JobStatus($job.name,$last.endtime,$last.result,$last.state)
    } else {
        $table += new-object JobStatus($job.name,"<none>","<none>","<none>")
    }
}

$table | Add-PowerStartHTMLTable -psHtml $ps -tableTitle "Jobs" -tableClass "table table-striped"
$ps.Save("report.html")
