Easy way to check which user backup failed or was partial

[baspe]

Hi,

I was just wondering i you already have an easy way to check which user failed of was partial in a tenant backup. Of course i could us the userlist and get the status of the backup of all users, loop through those an figure out were we went wrong, But that feels like al lot of overhead. i would hope there would be something in the api that wuld already filter de userlist based on failed or partial backups.

What i am trying to do is use the spanning powershell modul to check the backup end automate the creation of a ticket in our ticketing system based on wheter or not the backup failed multiple times in a row.

Bart,

There is no easy way today. I'll feed this info back to the team.

As you said, today, you would pull the users with the Status flag (and maybe use the StartDate of (Get-Date).AddDays(-3) to get the past 3 days). Then loop through the results looking for serial failures on a user.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I would like to share my script with you to see if I did it right and don’t hit the spanning API too much. We currently have 4500 licenses in spanning (with multiple customers) and growing.

I would like to be as efficient as possible. Is that oke ?
