change repo by Power Shell

[Ahmed.albatoosh]

You have 70 File Share backup jobs in Veeam, and you want to change their repository destination (all to a new repo) in one go without manually editing every job.
This can’t be done from the GUI in one click, but you can automate it using PowerShell with Veeam’s snap-in.

can one assistance for code

Hi Ahmed.albatoosh,

Sure, the following code is pseudo-code, but should be all you need:

cmdlets:

Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupJob
Get-VBRUnstructuredBackup
Detach-VBRBackup
Set-VBRNasBackupJob

Basic workflow would be:

Code: Select all

$uJob = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupJob #Fetches all Unstructured backup jobs, probably you will want to filter this somehow
$newRepo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Name of new Repository"
Foreach($u in $uJob){
	$uBackup = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackup | Where-Object {$_.JobId -eq $u.id}
	Detach-VBRBackup -Backup $uBackup
	Set-VBRNasBackupJob -Job $u -ShortTermBackupRepository $newRepo
	Delete-Variable ubackup
}

Note this is very basic structure of the code and will point all jobs to the repo you assign to variable $newRepo -- if you need to point to different repositories depending on the job, you will need to write your own logic to determine that.
