How to add tag combinations to a backup job

[bcram]

Hi folks,

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find it in the forum.

We use tag combinations for our backup jobs. I'd like to set this with Powershell, but I don't see how to do it. Adding an array of tags simply adds them as individual tags:

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name testjob
$tags = Find-VBRViEntity -Tags | ? { $_.Name -eq "dummy1" -or $_.Name -eq "dummy2" }

Add-VBRViJobObject -Job $job -Entities $tags

Get-VBRJobObject -Job $job

Name                   Type       ApproxSize       Location
----                   ----       ----------       --------
dummy1                 Include    0 B              xxx
dummy2                 Include    0 B              xxx

Is there a way to add tag combinations with Powershell?

Cheers,
Marc

Hi Marc,

This feature is not yet available through Powershell, but we are planning to add it in vNext.

Thanks,

Hi Oleg,
what means vNext? v11a or v12?

Best,

I meant 11a. Thanks!

Is it the "Multitag" parameter that came in 11.0.1.1261 P20211123?

Thanks, Lev

Yes, correct. For anyone seeing this thread - we are talking about -Multitag parameter in Add-VBRViJoObject cmdlet. Thanks!
