replication choose a specific datastore

[half_lif3]

Hi,

I'm on the midst on evaluating veeam v6 and starting to exploring the powershell feature.
While I'm having some issue on creating replication jobs via powershell.
Can anyone provide me an example on how to schedule a replication job on specific time and under specific datastore?

Code: Select all

$GSServer = Find-VBRViEntity -name vmserver
$BKServer = Get-VBRServer | where {$_.Name -eq "192.168.0.178"}
$BKDS = Find-VBRDatastore -Server ($BKServer) | where {$_.Name -eq "datastore01"}

Add-VBRViReplicaJob -Name BK_vmserver -Server ($BKServer) -Entity ($GSServer) -Datastore ($BKDS)

The error I"m getting is "Add-VBRViReplicaJob : Cannot bind parameter 'Datastore'. Cannot convert the "da
tastore01" value of type "Veeam.Backup.ViSoap.Datastore" to type "Veeam.Backup.C
ore.Infrastructure.CViDatastoreItem"."

This is what you'll be wanting

Code: Select all

$BKServer = Get-VBRServer -Name "192.168.0.178"
$BKDS = Find-VBRViDatastore -Server $BKServer -Name "datastore01"

Hi, Thanks. Will work out on a script to schedule 50 jobs to backup 50 different VMs

Refer to my below code. I've run and the options "Run the job automatically" for the job still remain un-tick.
Can i know what is the options available?

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -name "BK_vmserver"
$schedule = $job |Get-VBRjobscheduleoptions

$schedule.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $true
$schedule.OptionsDaily.Kind = "SelectedDays"
$schedule.OptionsDaily.Days = "Monday", "Wednesday", "Friday"
$schedule.OptionsDaily.Time = "12:00:00"

Set-VBRJobScheduleOptions -Job $job -Options $schedule

This is what your after

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Job Name"
$job.options.JobOptions.RunManually = $false
$job.EnableScheduler()
