Editing replica jobs

[marius roma]

I have many replica jobs to update.
The fields I need to update are:
- source (backup repository - select all)
- repository for replica metadata
Is there any sample I can start from?

Hi,

Here is an article (another one for v9) with a couple of examples, worth taking a look.

Thank you.

Thank you for your message.
I am still confused.
I need to configure my replica job to use a backup as its source and I attempted to build a job based on the sapmle you provided, but it does not work:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "MyReplica"
$repository = $repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "MyBackup"
Set-VBRViReplicaJob -Job $job -Replicatefrombackup -Sourcerepository $repository

I need to set the repository as well for replica metadata.
Can anybody please help?
Regards

One $Repository variable appears to be unnecessary.

I've just checked the following script and everything seems to have worked properly:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your replication job"
$SourceRepository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Name of your source repository"
$MetaRepository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Name of your repository to store metadata"
Set-VBRViReplicaJob -Job $Job -ReplicateFromBackup -SourceRepository $SourceRepository -BackupRepository $MetaRepository

Thanks.

Thank you for the useful sample.
It works fine and it solves my issue.
Let me just ask for a further information: is it normal getting a detailed list ot all the job's properties after issuing the Set-VBRViReplicaJob command?
Can I suppress it?

is it normal getting a detailed list ot all the job's properties after issuing the Set-VBRViReplicaJob command?

Correct, most of PS cmdlets return a modified object.

Can I suppress it?

Yes, by using Out-Null cmdlet.

Code: Select all

Set-VBRViReplicaJob -Job $Job -ReplicateFromBackup -SourceRepository $SourceRepository -BackupRepository $MetaRepository | Out-Null

Thanks.

Just to let you know that we used the code and everything is ok.
Many thanks
