Create Backupjob based on vSphere tags

[sandsturm]

Hi

I want to create new backupjobs via powershell, but I couldn't find a way to create a new backupjob with a vSphere tag as the object to backup. Is there a way to do that? I want to use something like Add-VBRViBackupJob -Name "CRM Backup" -Entity <vSphere_tag>

thx

You need to get the vCenter server, backup repository, and the VMware tag entity first.

Then you can create the job:

Code: Select all

$VeeamRepository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name 'ReFS-PerVM'
$vCenterServer = Get-VBRServer -Name 'ausvcenter.lab.fullstackgeek.net'

$VMwareTag = 'vSphereTag'
$VeeamTag = Find-VBRViEntity -Name $VMwareTag -Tags -Server $vCenterServer

$VeeamBackupJob = Add-VBRViBackupJob -Name 'Demo Backup Job' -Description 'Demo backup job created via script' -BackupRepository $VeeamRepository -Entity $VeeamTag
