Create EP-CopyJob with Encryption

[SRaring]

We save our Endpoint-Backups in a B&R-Repository and once a month we copy with a CopyJob the current backup of every physical computer from there to an external drive.
The EP-CopyJob only copies backups, if the last one is not older than 2 days (?). Is there a setting to change this?
Physical desktop computers are not running 24/7 at our place, so there is no current backup available from a pc if the colleague is at vacation.
The not perfect solution was to dynamically create a new Endpoint-CopyJob with only the EP-Jobs that where successfully running in the last 24 h. This works, but the encryption is not enabled, even if I set it. Via PS it looks like it is set, but not via GUI. The result is an unencrypted vbk.

An extract of the PS:

Code: Select all

$EP_Repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name $repository_Extern
Add-VBREpBackupCopyJob -Name $jobname_Extern -Backup $EP_BackupJobs_OK -DirectOperation -Repository $EP_repository
$EP_Key = Get-VBREncryptionKey -Description $EP_KeyName;
if (!$EP_Key)
{
    exit 14;
}
$copyjobs | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -EnableEncryption $true -EncryptionKey $EP_Key;

The $EP_Key seems OK, because the debugger not running to "exit 14".
Is there an error in my script to enable the encryption?

Just checked the script, everything seems to have worked successfully in my environment - the job was created as expected and the corresponding key was set and visible in both PS and GUI:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSNapin
$Repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -name "Name of my repository"
$Backup = Get-VBRBackup | ?{$_.JobType -eq "EndpointBackup"}
Add-VBREpBackupCopyJob -Backup $Backup -Name "EP Backup Copy Job 1" -Repository $Repository -DirectOperation
$Job = Get-VBRJob -Name "EP Backup Copy Job 1"
$Job | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -EnableEncryption:$true -EncryptionKey (Get-VBREncryptionKey -Description "Description of my password")

Thanks.

Many thanks for your test.

I found the error in my script. There was a mix of lines, because of a later change. My variable $copyjobs was set after it was used. I usally programming in languages like C++, where the compiler raise an error in such cases.
Sometimes it is better to have a fresh look on the problem another day.
Sorry, that I missed that. Now it works fine.

You're welcome. Sometimes all you need to make everything work is a fresh pair of eyes. Glad to hear my input has been helpful. Thanks.
