How to get/set WAN accelerator on a backup copy

[ivo.r]

Hi community

I would like to check/activate/change the source and target accelerator on a backup copy job (version 9.5/update 4).
In the GUI it's defined here:
- HOME/Jobs/Backup Copy
- Edit the job
- Data Transfer / Through build-in WAN accelerators / Sorce and Target WAN accelerator

On version 10 I found the command "Set-VBRComputerBackupCopyJob" which is not available on version 9.5, but looking forward for an other way to set these settings.

Would be nice to have an example.

Hi Ivo and Welcome to the Community Forums!

We don't have an official cmdlet/option to retrieve/set those for backup copy jobs, but you can try the unsupported methods I covered
in this post.


Thanks,

Thank you Oleg

The way looks good, but now, how can I switch between "Direct" and "Through build-in WAN accelerators"?

[oleg.feoktistov]

Here is the switch:

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name 'BackupCopyJob'
$options = Get-VBRJobOptions -Job $job
$options.JobOptions.UseWan = $false
Set-VBRJobOptions -Job $job -Options $options

Best regards,
