Creating a new job with Add-VBRViBackupJob doesnt import default advanced settings

[pcontreras1125]

I was wondering if you folks can help me with using the previously 'Saved as Default' setting under Storage -> Advanced. When I create a backup job using the Add-VBRViBackupJob cmdlet it doesn't import those default settings. However, if i were to create the job manually, those settings that were previously saved as default are there. Here is a sample of the code.

Code: Select all

$VM = Find-VBRViEntity -Name 'Server01'
$VMDesc = "$VMName Backup"

Add-VBRViBackupJob -Name $VMName -Entity $VM -Description $VMDesc 

Then when I go Home -> Backup -> Edit Job Name -> Storage -Advanced none of the options are set.

Is there a way I can pull those default settings.

Thanks.

Correct, PowerShell doesn't preserve default advanced settings (it's more like a GUI only feature). You can configure them on one job and then use Copy-VBRJob cmdlet to create multiple jobs with the same options set. Thanks.
