Powershell to set Monthly retention on job data

[GordA]

Hello to all,

Is there a way to use Powershell, or another method, to set specific job data as a monthly or yearly, if the regularly scheduled Monthly/Yearly jobs have issues?

Thanks.

Hello,
I'm not 100% whether I understand the question. Is it just about how to set it with PowerShell? If yes, then post377440.html#p377440 has the answer

Or is it about the "issues"?

Best regards,
Hannes

Thanks Hannes,

I am referring to the ability to flag backups as Monthly or Yearly after they have run. We already have our retention values set for our copy jobs, 12 M, 7Y, but occasionally our chain(s) can get corrupted or we have other issues with our offsite Veeam provider, which we work with them on correcting, but this leads us to want to manually set a full job that did run successfully as a M or Y.

No, you cannot achieve this via PowerShell.

One solution might be to use Export to .vbk feature and preserve the resulting restore point for as long as you want to.

Thanks!
