Enable Target option on Copy Job - Read the entire restore point from...

[victor.bylin@atea.se]

Hi,

I can't find out how to enable "Read the entire restore point from source instead of synthesizing it from increments" with Powershell.

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Test"
$job | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -CompressionLevel 5
$options = $job.GetOptions()

$options.GenerationPolicy.SimpleRetentionRestorePoints = 14
$options.GenerationPolicy.GFSRecentPoints = 14
$options.GenerationPolicy.GFSWeeklyBackups = 4
$options.GenerationPolicy.GFSMonthlyBackups = 24
$options.GenerationPolicy.RetentionPolicyType = "GFS"
$options.GenerationPolicy.EnableRechek = $true
$options.GenerationPolicy.DeletedVmsDataRetentionPeriodDays = "30"
$options.GenerationPolicy.EnableDeletedVmDataRetention = $True
$options.GenerationPolicy   - Want to enable "Read the entire restore point from source instead of synthesizing it from increments"

Set-VBRJobOptions $job $options

Is there a option for it?


Best regards!

Try this example and see whether it answers your requirements:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your backup copy job"
$Options = $Job.GetOptions()
$Options.generationpolicy.GFSisreadentirerestorepoint = $True
Set-VBRJobOptions -Job $Job -Options $Options

Thanks!

Thought I tried that one but must have misspelled it

It works, thanks!

Best regards!

You're welcome.

Basically, GenerationPolicy option group has everything related to retention schemes (both simple and GFS ones). So, whenever you're looking for a particular property, try to modify the value in UI, see how the change gets reflected in one of properties of GenerationPolicy option group and then set the needed value programmatically.

Thanks!
