Hello everybody,
i have to write a powershell script to backup an azure blog storage.
I want to send the result as an email.
But I don't get the result, but "System.Object []" as the mail body.
The script works perfect, I'm able to backup my azure blob storage to onPrem, only the status mail does not work as excepted.

Here are the relevant parts of the script.
$azlog= d:\azure_backup\azcopy.exe sync $source $dest --recursive
Send-MailMessage -To $rec -From $smtpFrom -Subject $messageSubject -encoding ASCII -body $azlog.ToString() -smtpserver $smtpServer

Many thanks,

Guido

    Hi @Guido Jeuken ,

    Can you try this?

    Send-MailMessage -To $rec -From $smtpFrom -Subject $messageSubject -encoding ASCII -body ($azlog | Out-String) -smtpserver $smtpServer

    Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/out-string

    Hope this helps!
