Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint: The method or operation is not implemented.

Question

Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint: The method or operation is not implemented.

Amir Sadvakassov 1

Hello!

I trying to use:

$vault = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -ResourceGroupName "test-resource-group" -Name "testvault"  
    $container = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType Windows -BackupManagementType MAB -VaultId $vault.ID  
    $backupitem = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $container -WorkloadType FileFolder -VaultId $vault.ID  
    $startdate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-3)  
    $enddate = Get-Date  
    $rp = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $backupItem -StartDate $startdate.ToUniversalTime() -EndDate $enddate.ToUniversalTime() -VaultId $vault.ID  
    Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRPMountScript -RecoveryPoint $rp[0]

and getting:

Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint: The method or operation is not implemented.  
  
+ $rp = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $backupItem -St ...  
+       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AzRecoveryS...upRecoveryPoint], NotImplementedException  
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.RecoveryServices.Backup.Cmdlets.GetAzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint

I tried to use many additional params according to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.recoveryservices/get-azrecoveryservicesbackuprecoverypoint?view=azps-7.2.0

Hi @Amir Sadvakassov Thank you for reaching out to us!

Would it be possible to get the debug output for this command? You can get this by adding a -debug flag when running the command.

@Amir Sadvakassov Can you perform the MARS restore using PowerShell. Below is the reference doc:

Hello!

$Source = Get-OBRecoverableSource
$Rps = Get-OBRecoverableItem $Source[0]
$Item = New-OBRecoverableItem $Rps[0] "test AZUREvault" -IsDir $TRUE
$RecoveryOption = New-OBRecoveryOption -DestinationPath "C:\temp" -OverwriteType Skip
Start-OBRecovery -RecoverableItem $Item -RecoveryOption $RecoveryOption

Output:

Estimating size of backup items...
Job completed.
The recovery operation completed successfully.

MARS restoring using PowerShell works fine,
but I would prefer get data from vault without installing MARS agent.
Any idea?

do you have any further updates on this in the last 2.5 years? We would prefer to be able to check the status of recovery vault protected items via a central management server and running reports on a scheduled basis to check if there has been any server that a backup has not completed on within the last X number of days.

We do not want to be running scripts on every server that has azure backup performing MAB FileFolder type backups.

We currently run a powershell report using Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault, Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupContainer, and Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem on a foreach loop for all vaults, all protected servers worldwide from a single place. We get the outputs

Computer Name, Vault Name, Protected Status, Last Backup Status and Last Backup Time
example123 USAVault True Completed 11/26/2024 06:35:07

For those that fail their most recent backup, all we get is the Last Backup Status value of Failed. For those, we want to drill down and check the Recovery points - Latest to see the date we last had a successful backup. With the commands below we can only get as far as the protected item themself:

$BackupItem = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $Container -WorkloadType FileFolder -VaultId $vault.ID

Running the recovery point command below to get that info directly in November 2024 still provides:

$rp = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $BackupItem -StartDate $startdate.ToUniversalTime() -EndDate $enddate.ToUniversalTime()

Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint : The method or operation is not implemented.

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AzRecoveryS...upRecoveryPoint], NotImplementedException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.RecoveryServices.Backup.Cmdlets.GetAzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint

This really seems like something that should be fleshed out fully. We assume that the person who runs this script is trusted to view these results, as they can view them in the entra ID portal via the GUI, so why do we not allow to do so via the cli?

@Amir Sadvakassov Currently we support fetching backup items list and backup jobs without installing MARS agent, directly from the vault. But for recovery you would need to continue using MARS agent commands.

Adding commands for fetching backup item/jobs:

1) Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -BackupManagementType MAB -VaultId $vault.ID -WorkloadType FileFolder
2) Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupJob -BackupManagementType MAB -VaultId $vault.ID
