Hi
I'm trying to write a script who backups the VMs of our helpdesk. They have some testmachines, who need only a basic backup.
The Script:
function backupvm($name, $destination) { $test = Test-Path $destination if($test -eq $false) { mkdir $destination } Copy-DatastoreItem MyDS:\$name\* $destination
}
# Set variables
$server = "vCenterServer"
$folder = "Testclients CLC"
$ds = "datastore"
$backupdestination = "M:\TresY\testbackup"
# Connect to $Server
connect-viserver $server
# Generates a PSDrive
$datastore = Get-Datastore $ds
New-PSDrive -Name MyDS -PSProvider ViMdatastore -Root '\' -location $datastore
# Suspends all started VMs
Write-Host "VMs are now backupped:"
Get-VM -location $folder | Foreach-Object {
if($_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn") { Suspend-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$false backupvm $_.Name $backupdestination"\"$_ Start-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$false Write-Host $_.FullName } Else { backupvm $_.Name $backupdestination"\"$_ Write-Host $_.Name }
}
When I execute it, followed error arrives:
Copy-DatastoreItem : 12.04.2011 08:42:24 VimDatastore Download of fil
e 'https://vCenterServer:443/folder%2ft008002%2fvmware.log?dcPath=
Biel&dsName=DateStore' failed. Error message: The remote serv

From MyDS to MyDS i can copy the files without problmes. But to my local path on M:\TresY\testbackup i receive the error.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
