Set-VBRBackupCopyJob - Disabling Job

[allan.warner]

Hi,

I am having an issue when using the Set-VBRBackupCopyJob command... its setting the parameters.. but also its then disabling the job... is this expected?

Am I supposed to run Enable-VBRBackupCopyJob after?

Its annoying as I would like to run the Set command when the job is running, so that the changes can be picked up on the next run. At the moment it will kill the running job (as it sets it to disabled)..

Code: Select all

$VBRComputerGFSMonthlyoptions = New-VBRComputerGFSMonthlyOptions -RetentionPeriod 12 -SelectedWeek 'First';
$VBRComputerGFSYearlyoptions = New-VBRComputerGFSYearlyOptions -RetentionPeriod 7 -SelectedMonth 'June';
$VBRComputerGFSOptions = New-VBRComputerGFSOptions -GFSMonthlyOptions $VBRComputerGFSMonthlyoptions -GFSYearlyOptions $VBRComputerGFSYearlyoptions;

Set-VBRBackupCopyJob -Job $VBRBackupCopyJob -Description "Edited via Powershell script by $currentUser at $TimeStamp" -Mode Immediate -BackupJob $VBRJob -DirectOperation -GFSOptions $VBRComputerGFSOptions -RetentionType RestoreDays -RetentionNumber 30 -AnyTime;

Hi Allan,

I tried to reproduce just now but was not able to with a simple test:

1. Run your same code against a Backup Copy Job (BCJ) without the -BackupJobs parameter while BCJ is running => No Disabling
2. Run your same code against a Backup Copy Job (BCJ) with the -BackupJobs parameter while BCJ is running => No Disabling

Is there more to your script or it's truly just the above code-block that does it? If it's just the code block, may I ask you to reproduce the issue and please open a Support Case for the issue? Be sure to note the date/time of the reproduce and include logs for Support to review. (Use the 3rd radio option to select from hosts, select the Veeam server itself to export from).

Please share the case number here once created. Thanks!
