Set the amount of restore points

Post by frankU32 »

I am struggling to find which command I use to set the number of restore points in a job. Can someone please point me in the right place.

Thanks

Frank

Hey Frank...something like this should work:

Code: Select all

$jobname="J1"
$RestorePointValue="7"
$JobOptions = Get-VBRJobOptions $jobname
$JobOptions.BackupStorageOptions.RetainCycles = $RestorePointsValue 
$Jobname | Set-VBRJobOptions -Options $JobOptions

The example you gave was close but not 100%, and it got me there. This is what i did that works.

Code: Select all

$RestorePoints = 21

$Joboptions = get-vbrjob -Name JobName  | Get-VBRJobOptions 
$JobOptions.BackupStorageOptions.RetainCycles = $RestorePoints
get-vbrjob -Name JobName | Set-VBRJobOptions -Options $JobOptions
