File to Tape Only Backup Certain Files

Post by chris.branagan »

Job Type - File to Tape

Is it possible to only backup files that have been accessed in x amount of time ? I'm guessing this will be done via Powershell but i'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to combine Windows PowerShell and Veeam PowerShell.

The algorithm should look similarly to the following:

* Check given directory to find files that have not been accessed within certain period of time (Windows PS: Get-ChildItem ... | Where{$_.LastWriteTime -ge})
* Create a file to tape job object, using gotten paths (Veeam PS: New-VBRFileToTapeObject)
* Set a new job object to file to tape job (Veeam PS: Set-VBRFileToTapeJob)

Thanks.
