Feature Request: Manually Creating Retention Backups

[roguegeek]

I would love to see you expand the powershell command Start-VBRJob to allow admins to manually create a full backup AND assign it a retention scheme instead of waiting for the Veeam software to create it. For example :

Start-VBRJob -Job $importantJob -RetentionScheme "Weekly"

The retention flag would be the same as using the FullBackup switch the difference being the backup scheme would be W and not R.

Hi,

An interesting feature request. I suppose, by retention scheme you mean GFS type allowing to create GFS backups on demand, right?
It's certainly worth consideration, so your is voice counted. Thanks for your feedback.

Best regards,
