  Veeam API   with Python as PowerBi Data Source Power BI is a powerful business intelligence tool that allows users to visualize data and gain insights from it. While Power BI provides built-in data connectors to various sources, including SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, and others, it also supports using custom connectors to access data from various other sources.

Adding Multiple Veeam V11 Backup Servers to Veeam Enterprise Manager through Powershell & API. Haven't written a post in sometime but i had a field request from a customer and thought it was suited for a Automation post.

Using Veeam Backup for Office 365 as DataSet for PowerBI using PowerBi Query.  I did a previous post on a self-service Dashboard which is built upon Veeam’s VBO APIs here: http://www.mritsurgeon.co.za/2020/07/single-install-script-for-veeam-backup.html I wanted to see if there was a way to use GET API method to share data with PowerBi as a data source.

Veeam with Microsoft PowerBI Creating a backup Statistics & analytics Dashboard with PowerBI With some time at home during lock down I decided to play round with PowerBi & learn. The easiest start for me was to plug this into a SQL database, looking around for a Data Set I thought what not easier than use the Veeam Config Database in my lab as its already holding rich data that I could transform into a Dashboard. I also have an deep knowledge into backup and can understand how & why to transform the Data Set. This was my first Time using PowerBi so bear with me .. First, I downloaded and installed PowerBI Desktop to my Veeam Backup Server (seemed easiest as data set was local to the Tool)
