PowerShell • Re: PowerShell Script to Identify Backup Metadata Not Converted to V12 Format (Veeam v13)

Hello Fabian,

Thanks for your response! Indeed, I ended up using the "IsTruePerVmContainer" property.
My only issue is that I’m struggling to interpret the meaning of this property.
According to the documentation https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120 , it seems there are several backup chain formats:
- Per-Machine Backup with Separate Metadata Files (Recommended)
- Per-Machine Backup with Single Metadata File (Legacy)

How can I know which of the two the "IsTruePerVmContainer" property refers to, especially since I'm not sure whether the Per-Machine Backup with Single Metadata File format is actually supported in Veeam version 13?

Thank you
