With all the Cmdlets for the new features in Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 Update 4 and the additional ones for exiting features, the number of Cmdlets of the Veeam PowerShell SnapIn has grown from 564 to 734. Documenting all the new Cmdlets is way too much for a single blog post, so I will highlight a few unusual goodies.

PowerShell goodies
Scale-Out Repository Email Report
Send-VBRScaleOutBackupRepositoryReport -Repository "<SOR Name>"
The PowerShell Help and even the Veeam PowerShell Reference do not offer any details regarding this Cmdlet.
The Cmdlet

Test Backup Repository
[Array]$RepoList = Get-VBRBackupRepository | Where-Object {$_.Type -ne "SanSnapshotOnly"}
[Array]$ScaleOuts = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut
if ($ScaleOuts) {
foreach ($ScaleOut in $ScaleOuts) {
$Extents = Get-VBRRepositoryExtent -Repository $ScaleOut
foreach ($Extent in $Extents) {
$RepoList = $RepoList + $Extent.repository
}
}
}
$RepoList | Test-VBRBackupRepository
The PowerShell Help and even the Veeam PowerShell Reference do not offer any details regarding this Cmdlet. If anyone has any further information, please contact me.

Start Backup Health Check
Get-VBRBackup -Name "<Backup Job Name>" | Start-VBRBackupHealthCheck
The PowerShell Help and even the Veeam PowerShell Reference do not offer any details regarding this Cmdlet.
I assume that the same process as for the “Storage-level corruption guard” is triggered. If anyone has any further information, please contact me.

The Health Check Job is also visible in the Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 Update 4 Backup Job History.
