To launch a session with Veeam Powershell, open Veeam Backup & Replication, go to "Tools", and click "Powershell". This will launch a window as below:

From here, you can obtain a full list of all VBR Cmdlets by using "Get-VBRCommand":


One command that is quite useful is 'Get-VBRJob'. This returns a list of all backup, replication, and copy jobs configured in your VBR install.

You can also be more specific about which job(s) you desire by supplying a -Name parameter, which does accept wildcards.

You can also do the same with the 'stop-vbrjob' cmdlet analogously.
