Add-VBRBackupJob From Veeam 5 to 6

[sidavid]

Hi,

I have updated Veeam backup from 5 to 6. In version 5, I have the following command to create a job. Now I want to know how to set a specific backup proxy and an specific backup repository.

Many thanks in advance

Add-VBRBackupJob -Name $vbrjobname -Type VDDK -Server $vbrserver -Folder $vbrfolder -FileName $vbrfile -Objects $vmname
$job = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.name -eq $vbrjobname}
Add-VBRJobObject -Job ($job) -Server ($server1) -Objects ($vmname)
$vo = $job.GetOptions()
$vo.RetainCycles = 2
$vo.RetainDays = 1
$vo.CompressionLevel = 9
$vo.VMToolsQuiesce = $true
$vo.Algorithm = "Syntethic"
$job.SetOptions($vo)

Hi,

Thanks I can add jobs now but I have issue to setup configuration Like type of Backup, EmailNotification, COmpression...

Code: Select all

get-folder "Support" | get-vm | foreach {
$v = $_.name
$vbrjobname = $v
$rep = Get-VBRBackupRepository | where {$_.name -eq "Backup Repository D"}
$enty = Find-VBRViEntity -Name $v
Add-VBRViBackupJob -Name $vbrjobname -BackupRepository $rep -Entity $enty

$job = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.name -eq $vbrjobname}
$vo = $job.GetOptions()
$vo.EmailNotification = $true
$vo.EmailNotificationAddresses = ""
$vo.UseChangeTracking = $true
$vo.EnableChangeTracking = $true
$vo.RetainCycles = 2
$vo.RetainDays = 1
$vo.CompressionLevel = 9
$vo.VMToolsQuiesce = $true
$vo.Algorithm = "Syntethic"

$job.SetOptions($vo)

Can you help me, please?

Thanks

I understand how it works

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.name -eq $vbrjobname}
$vo = $job.GetOptions()

$vo.NotificationOptions.EmailNotification = $true
$vo.BackupStorageOptions.EnableChangeTracking = $true
$vo.BackupStorageOptions.RetainCycles = 2
$vo.BackupStorageOptions.RetainDays = 1
$vo.BackupStorageOptions.CompressionLevel = 9
$vo.BackupTargetOptions.Algorithm = "Syntethic"
$vo.ViSourceOptions.VMToolsQuiesce = $true

$job.SetOptions($vo)
