find the last snapshot with powershell

[olivier_girard1]

when you do a get-nssnapshot, you get in return the volume name and the ID. But no creation date.

How is it possible to find the last snapshot then?

thanks a lot for the assistance!

The way I've handled this in the past is to sort by the id as those are created in sequence. The greatest snapshot id will be the latest snapshot.

Get-NSSnapshot -vol_name Volume1 | Sort-Object -Property id | Select-Object -Last 1

ths is working 100%. Nimble could return all properties (inl. dates and so).

Now working forward on my scripts =)
