Moving VM+backup chains from job to job

[aleksandr.nazarov]

VBR 12.2.0.334
There are Job1 and Job2.
There are vm1 and vm2 In Job1 which need to be migrated to Job2 and the same in secondary jobs(Backup copies). GUI allows me to do this. But I can’t figure out how to do this using Move-VBRBackup.

Hi Aleksandr,

See the second point of the Syntax section here. Should be applicable to your case.

Example:

Code: Select all

$sourceBackup = Get-VBRBackup -Name 'Backup Job 1'
$targetJob = Get-VBRJob -Name 'Backup Job 2'
Move-VBRBackup -Backup $sourceBackup -Job $targetJob -Name @('vm name 1', 'vm name 2') # You can pass an array of names

Best regards,
Oleg
