#ValidationTags#Messaging# function Get-DbaBackupDevice { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets SQL Backup Device information for each instance(s) of SQL Server. .DESCRIPTION The Get-DbaBackupDevice command gets SQL Backup Device information for each instance(s) of SQL Server. .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: Backup Author: Garry Bargsley (@gbargsley), http://blog.garrybargsley.com dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io, clemaire@gmail.com) Copyright (C) 2016 Chrissy LeMaire License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaBackupDevice .EXAMPLE Get-DbaBackupDevice -SqlInstance localhost Returns all Backup Devices on the local default SQL Server instance .EXAMPLE Get-DbaBackupDevice -SqlInstance localhost, sql2016 Returns all Backup Devices for the local and sql2016 SQL Server instances #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $True)] [DbaInstanceParameter]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Attempting to connect to $instance" try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } foreach ($backupDevice in $server.BackupDevices) { Add-Member -Force -InputObject $backupDevice -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ComputerName -value $backupDevice.Parent.NetName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $backupDevice -MemberType NoteProperty -Name InstanceName -value $backupDevice.Parent.ServiceName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $backupDevice -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SqlInstance -value $backupDevice.Parent.DomainInstanceName Select-DefaultView -InputObject $backupDevice -Property ComputerName, InstanceName, SqlInstance, Name, BackupDeviceType, PhysicalLocation, SkipTapeLabel } } } } |
