Launch Backup Copy Job exclusively through PowerShell

Post by Jamesdld23 »

Hello,

I am currently launching a Backup Copy Job (BCJ) through a script that is launched after the execution of a Backup Job.
I use the the command "Sync-VBRBackupCopyJob -Job $Job" to do that.

My problem is that the job can also be ran automatically when the BCJ's copy interval is reached, it would have been perfect for me if the Sync-VBRBackupCopyJob command could perform a reset the time beginning of the copy interval.

To give more context, I need to use a script because of the following reason :

My BCJ's target repository is a StorSimple applicance, when all data is received I launch a job that exteranizes the data to the cloud (a cloud snapshot)
The BCJ should only be run when no cloud snapshot are running


Thanks for helping
James

Not sure about it but does this command could do the job?
Disable-VBRJobSchedule -Job $job

Hmm, the mentioned cmdlet issues Sync Now command to a backup copy job. In case of copy interval being equal to one or more days this command should start a new cycle on the following day.

Doesn't it happen in your case or you're after something else?

Thanks.

The job is configured to launch a "copy every" 7 days, my script launches it about every 3 days (with the Sync-VBRBackupCopyJob cmdlet) and I observed that it launches itself after 7 days ...
This last automatic launch occur at this date : 06:25 29/11/2016, I will see in 7 days what will happen.

Hmm, looks strange, because in your case interval should get reset every three days and weekly interval (started the next day) should never finish. Thanks.

I think that what did reset the cycle was a reboot of the Veeam Backup & Replication server.
Is it possible?

Nope, unless you've included other commands in your script. Thanks.
