Add objects to VBR tape job

Post by Tobias_Elfstrom »

Is there currently any what to add objects to an existing tape job with powershell?

If you do:

Code: Select all

$tapejob = Get-VBRTapeJob -Name Name_of_tapejob

You have the objects that are included in the readonly attribute

Code: Select all

$tapejob.Objects
Is there any way for me to add objects here ? (other that using the GUI)

Thanks.

The last question - do you need to replace tape job source or just add to it another backup job ? Thanks.

You can replace a source of backup to tape job via this script:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$TapeJob = Get-VBRTapeJob -Name "Name of your tape job"
$NewObject = Get-VBRJob -Name "Name of your backup job"
Set-VBRBackupToTapeJob -Job $TapeJob -Object $NewObject
As to adding another backup job to the source of backup to tape job, currently it's not possible. No matter what script you write, the source gets overwritten, not appended.

However, we do consider fixing that down the road.

Thanks.
