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 The target SQL Server instance or instances. 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 Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaBackupDevice .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaBackupDevice -SqlInstance localhost Returns all Backup Devices on the local default SQL Server instance .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaBackupDevice -SqlInstance localhost, sql2016 Returns all Backup Devices for the local and sql2016 SQL Server instances #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } foreach ($backupDevice in $server.BackupDevices) { Add-Member -Force -InputObject $backupDevice -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ComputerName -value $backupDevice.Parent.ComputerName 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 } } } } |
