Re: Change job description field via powershell

Post by oleg.feoktistov »

This is currently not possible for VMware and Hyper-V backup/backup copy jobs as they don't have Set-VBR*Job cmdlet pairs. For other ones like NAS, agent, vCloud replica, tape etc. it is totally feasible. Just look for Set-VBR*Job cmdlet for the type you are seeking to manage. Thanks!

[MERGED] Change description of Backup Jobs with Powershell

Post by seb002 »

Hello,

We would like to change the field "Description" for many of our Backup Jobs. But we don't find a way to do that.
I have found an old topic where it says it's not possible to change the name or the description with Powershell because they don't have Set-VBR*Job cmdlet pairs.
Is it still relevant or a solution exists ?

Thanks for the help !

Hi,

Yes, it is still relevant for most of the job types, which don't have set cmdlets with parameters.

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Eric

I moved your question to this post.
Currently, it's not possible for HyperV and VmWare Backup Jobs to change the description with PowerShell.
If you requested this for one of this two jobs, we will surely count your request as +1.

Hi Eduardo,

Not for Hyper-V, VMware and some other types, as I explained above. But we plan to update old job cmdlets in one of post-v12 major releases.

Thanks,
Oleg

Hello

Any change to this functionality? Is there a Cmdlet that can adjust the job's description?

Thanks

Hi Matt,

As I mentioned above, the change is planned for one of the next major post-v12 versions (v13+). Nothing has changed in this regard.

Best regards,
Oleg
