Export / Import jobs

[b.vanhaastrecht]

Hi,

I'm trying to make an example script work. I'm having troubles in placing the job options on the imported job. The script runs on the existing B&R server, and creates a remote connection to the B&R where the job needs to be created.

The script:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$RemoteVBRServer = "remote B&R server"
$JobToCopy = "job name to copy"

$Job = Get-VBRJob -name $JobToCopy
$Names = ($Job | Get-VBRJobObject).name
$Options = $Job.GetOptions()
$VSSOptions = $Job.GetVssOptions()


Invoke-Command -Comp $RemoteVBRServer -Scriptblock {
    Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
    $Server = Get-VBRServer | ?{($_.type -eq "vc") -and (($_.name -eq "vcenter attached to vmware job") )}
    $Entity = foreach ($name in $Using:Names){
        Find-VBRViEntity -Server $Server | ?{($_.name -eq $Name)}
    }
    
    $Repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -name "the repository"
    Add-VBRViBackupJob -Entity $Entity -Name $Using:JobToCopy -BackupRepository $Repository
    Start-sleep -s 5
    $Job2 = Get-VBRJob | ? {$_.name -eq $Using:JobToCopy}
    $Job2.SetOptions($Using:Options)
    $Job2.SetVssOptions($Using:VSSOptions)
}

The error I get is after the job is imported, and the options are placed on it:

Code: Select all

Cannot convert argument "jobOptions", with value: "Veeam.Backup.Model.CJobOptions", for "SetOptions" to type 
"Veeam.Backup.Model.CJobOptions": "Cannot convert value "Veeam.Backup.Model.CJobOptions" to type

When running the same script against the same B&R server, the job get created fine with all options.

Any idea what could be going wrong here? some dependicy missing when applying the options?

kind Regards,
