DPM Restore to remote server with folder rename and delete

  Hi,

  I have some trouble to automate this task.

  I have 2 servers lets say Srv-Dpm and Srv-HyperV, what I want to do is to rename older backup with a script than currently is on the HyperV server, next restore DPM backups on a Drive on HyperV server and after that delete old folders. All this with the scheduler if possible...

  Restore Script on DPM Server:

  #### Main ####
  
  param([string] $restorePath = "F:\DPM", [string] $targetServerName = "Srv-HyperV") 
  
  #0. Initialize variables
  
  $dpmName = $env:computername
  
  if(!$restorePath)
  
  {
  
      $restorePath = Read-Host "Enter the path to where the VMs should be restored"
  
  }
  
  
  
  if (!$targetServerName)
  
  {
  
      $targetServerName = Read-AHost "Enter netbios name of the target server"
  
  }
  
  
  
  #1. Get all Protection Groups
  
  $pgList = Get-ProtectionGroup -dpmServerName $dpmName
  
  
  
  #2. Get all Hyper-V Datasources
  
  $hypervDSList = @()
  
  ForEach ($pg in $pgList)
  
  {
  
   $hypervDSList += @(Get-Datasource -protectionGroup $pg | where {$_.Type.Name -eq "Hyper-V" -and $_.Name -notcontains "Initial Store"})
  
  }
  
  
  
  #3. Do Inquiry on target server for DPM to discover the available volumes
  
  Write-Host "Getting available volumes on Target Server"
  
  $targetServer = Get-ProductionServer -dpmServerName $dpmName | where {$_.NetBiosName -eq $targetServerName}
  
  Get-Datasource -ProductionServer $targetServer -Inquire | Out-Null
  
  
  
  #4. Recover datasources one by one.
  
  ForEach ($hypervDS in $hypervDSList)
  
  {
  
   #4.1 Get the latest recovery point.
  
   $recoveryPoints = @(Get-RecoveryPoint -datasource $hypervDS | sort -property RepresentedPointInTime -Descending)
  
      if ($recoveryPoints.Length -eq 0)
  
      {
  
          Write-Host "No recovery point available for" $hypervDS.Name -ForeGroundColor Yellow
  
          Continue
  
      }
  
      $latestRecoveryPoint = $recoveryPoints[0]
  
   #4.2 Recover it to target server as files
  
   $rop = New-RecoveryOption -HyperVDatasource -targetServer $targetServerName -recoveryLocation CopyToFolder -RecoveryType Restore -TargetLocation $restorePath
  
      Write-Host "Recovering" $hypervDS.Name -NoNewLine
  
   $recoveryJob = Recover-RecoverableItem -RecoverableItem $latestRecoveryPoint -recoveryoption $rop -JobStateChangedEventHandler $jobStateChangeHandler
  
      if(!$recoveryJob)
  
      {
  
          Write-Host "Failure on invoking Recover-RecoverableItem" -ForeGroundColor Red
  
          continue
  
      }
  
      #4.3 Wait till the recovery job completes
  
      while (! $recoveryJob.hasCompleted )
  
      { 
  
          # Show a progress bar
  
          Write-Host "." -NoNewLine
  
          Start-Sleep 5
  
      }
  
      Write-Host
  
   if($recoveryJob.Status -ne "Succeeded")
  
      {
  
          Write-Host "Recovery failed" -ForeGroundColor Red
  
      }
  
      else
  
      {
  
      Write-Host "Recovery successful" -ForeGroundColor Green
  
      }
  
  }
  
  
  
  #6
  
  Exit
  

   

  Bat File Called from scheduler:

   

  C:\Windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\dpmshell.psc1" -noexit -command ".'C:\scripts\restore.ps1'"

   

  Rename Script on HyperV

   

   

  $FolderToRename = Get-ChildItem -Path F:\DPM
  
  
  
  foreach ($str in $FolderToRename){
  
  
  
   $Renomme = [string]$str.Name + ".old"
  
   Rename-Item $str.FullName -NewName $Renomme
  
  
  
  }
  

   

  
  Delete Script on HyperV

   

   

  $FolderToDel = Get-ChildItem F:\DPM | Where-Object {$_.name -like "*.old"}
  
  
  
  foreach ($str in $FolderToDel){
  
   
  
   Remove-Item F:\DPM\$str -recurse 
  
  }
  

   

  
  Both Called from a Bat File.

  The problem I have; first If I schedule the Bat file to launch for the DPM restore task nothing happens? Work great manualy

  Second thing is, can I execute the Rename script before backup launch(all in one) for the remote HyperV server (tried Invoke-Command, but can't get it to work), and the Delete just after it finished of curse.

   

  All this must go with scheduler, and nothing should be ask (example: "-credential from invoke-command with the password popup").

  Really need some help on this! Thanks to read.
