Problem with VCSA 6.7

I found solution for VCSA 6.7. It is described in VMWare KB article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/67483, where is stated, that problem is solved in 6.5u2 - this is not true, in VCSA 6.7 latest patch (Spe/2019) there is still old version of the script. More about solution here: http://www.vryan.co.uk/index.php/2018/05/09/vcsa-automated-backup-failure/

Two problems fixed

Excellent script. During attemps to get it up and running, I encountered two problems. 1. There is a bug at line 56 - missing opening bracket. Good: if((Get-Date $now) -gt (Get-Date $last)) Wrong: if(Get-Date $now) -gt (Get-Date $last)) Second, I have Windows 2012 server as my Veeam box. Locales are Czech. From some unknown reason, all functions like Get-Date return date in English format (even more confusing, when you try the same from command line, the locales _are_ taken into account). However, the GetScheduleOptions call returns date with proper locale, so after this attempt to convert it to date results in format error. Even I don´t understand exact nature of this problem, I found fix (this is for Czech format date): The section of the code looks like this: ... $last = $last -replace '], Next run time: .*', '' $fmt="d. M. yyyy H:mm:ss" $last = [datetime]::ParseExact($last,$fmt, $null) if((Get-Date $now) -gt (Get-Date $last)) ... Hope this will somebody save some time.
