PowerShell script for the VB365 server, run hourly as a SYSTEM scheduled
task (Windows PowerShell 5.1 by default, -PwshPath for PowerShell 7).
One dashboard job per VB365 backup job and backup copy job.
- Sessions from Get-VBOJobSession (and Get-VBOCopyJobSession where
available) within the lookback window; status from session Status,
message from the session log's warning/error lines, size from
Statistics.TransferredData ("1.5 GB" -> bytes)
- One VB365 server can protect several Microsoft 365 organizations, so
the dashboard company is chosen per job: OrganizationTenants mapping,
else Tenant, else the organization's name
- Next run from the job's NextRun; empty for disabled jobs
- Get-Vb365CollectorDiagnostics.ps1 dumps jobs and sessions, showing
each DateTime's Kind (local vs UTC); installer adapted from MARS
Not yet run against a real server.

PowerShell script for servers using Windows Server Backup, run hourly as
a SYSTEM scheduled task under Windows PowerShell 5.1. Each server is one
dashboard job.
- Backup jobs from Get-WBJob (in progress and -Previous) within the
lookback window; restores are ignored. WSB jobs have no ID, so runs
are keyed on start time, which also merges a Running report with the
finished one
- Error HRESULT -> failed; detailed error or a failed item -> warning;
messages include the error description, codes as 0x8XXXXXXX, failed
items and the failure log path
- Next run from Get-WBSummary's NextBackupTime
- Get-WsbCollectorDiagnostics.ps1 dumps the cmdlets' real objects and
recent Microsoft-Windows-Backup events (to check whether job times
are local or UTC); installer adapted from the MARS one
Not yet run against a real server.

PowerShell script for servers running the MARS agent, run as a SYSTEM
scheduled task (hourly) under Windows PowerShell 5.1, which the
agent's MSOnlineBackup module targets. Each server is one dashboard job.
- Backup jobs from Get-OBJob (in progress and -Previous) within the
lookback window; restores are ignored. Completed with failed bytes
or an error reports as warning
- Next run computed from the backup and System State policy schedules;
left empty for every-N-weeks schedules to avoid false Overdue alarms
- Property reads tolerate unknown names, since the agent's object
model isn't documented; Get-MarsCollectorDiagnostics.ps1 dumps the
real structure for checking
- Install-MarsCollector.ps1 mirrors the Veeam installer; tests/MockMars.ps1
provides stand-in cmdlets
Not yet run against a real MARS agent.
