Hello to all, some time ago I wrote this post below:
Backup-VCSA module error
and now I have the exact same error again. The box where I used to run my scripts died (Window 2012 R2) and it was replaced with a 2016 (PS 5.1.14393.2248 - PowerCLI 11(latest)). I just set the usual script below and I got again that error:
Import-Module "C:\Scripts\Pro\VCSA-Backup\Backup-VCSA.psm1" -Force
$vcenter = 'xxxxxxxxxx'
$Creds = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Scripts\Pro\VCSA-Backup\config.xml"
$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $Creds.UserName,$Creds.Password
Connect-CisServer -Server $vcenter -User $cred.GetNetworkCredential().UserName -Password $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password
Connect-VIServer -Server $vcenter -User $cred.GetNetworkCredential().UserName -Password $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password
$Comment = "Full Backup $vcenter-$(Get-Date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd')"
$LocationType = "FTPS"
$location = "xxxxxxxxx/backup/$vcenter-$((Get-Date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd'))"
$LocationUser = "vcsa-backup-user"
[VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core.Types.V1.Secret]$locationPassword = "xxxxxxxxxx"
Backup-VCSAToFile -LocationType $LocationType -Location $location -LocationUser $LocationUser -LocationPassword $locationPassword -Comment $Comment -FullBackup

etc...
This time the module is exactly as it is published on the Github. What could it be? After the logins are done if I run
Get-CisService com.vmware.appliance.recovery.backup.job
I get a proper response!
Can it be the PowerCli or the PS version?
