## Install (on the VBR server, as an administrator)

=======
Requires PowerShell 7 installed machine-wide (`winget install Microsoft.PowerShell` or the MSI),
which VBR 13's Veeam module expects. The Microsoft Store version won't work, because the SYSTEM
account can't run it. The installer checks for this before changing anything.

**Backup copy jobs (VBR 12+):** Veeam records their sessions under hidden per-source "worker" jobs.
The collector files each worker session under its copy job (via the worker's `PolicyJobId`), so a
copy job gets one run per source job it copies, with the source in `copied_from`.

Each run covers the last 48 hours (`LookbackHours`), so a few missed runs (server rebooting, API
down) fill in automatically. Sessions already delivered are recorded in
`veeam-collector.state.json`. Running sessions are re-sent until they finish.

- A job shows **Unknown** on the dashboard: the collector sent the job but matched no sessions to it.
Run `.\Get-VeeamCollectorDiagnostics.ps1` (read-only). It lists sessions whose job ID matches no
job, plus the type and link properties of the jobs left without sessions.
>>>>>>> add-backend-api
- `Get-VBRBackupSession` loads every session in the VBR database. On a server with years of history,
this can make each run take a minute or more. The task's 30-minute limit and "don't start if
already running" setting keep that safe.
