We have a bunch of older VM backups, where we only have some full backups left, like yearly and monthly backups.

We would like to create a script that shows us the available restore points to do some calculations on them.

 

Can anyone help me to find the available restore points via the Rest-API ?


Thanks in advance, Maurice

This gets all jobs associated with a VM and may be what you are looking for:

https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP36/api/cv/VirtualizationOperations/get-vm-jobs/

 

You need to provide the VM GUID - I think the UUID in this request provides that: https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP36/api/cv/OpenAPI3/get-virtual-machines/

Thank you Damian,

 

It was some work as the documentation is not complete, but I managed… I tried this before, but it was showing me only a few recent jobs, but now I have (I hope) a complete list:

 

"/v2/vsa/vm/<vmGuid>/jobs?completedJobLookupTime=1000000000&showAgedJobs=false&jobTypeList=14"

 

  • completedJobLookupTime=1000000000 to see older jobs, I could not find the max number yet, but 1 extra 0 makes that nothing is found.
  • showAgedJobs=false to avoid that you see aged jobs.
  • jobTypeList=14 to only see Synthetic Full backups. The number was found here: POST Jobs | Commvault®️

Then from the results you can check on jobs.jobSummary.retainUntil

  • Monthly and yearly backups have a number what corresponds with the amount of days.
  • Synth fulls from daily backups contain an epoch timestamp

 

Is there a way to be sure that you see all jobs? Or what is the max that completedJobLookupTime can be?

 

Thanks, Maurice
