Modify GFS days in powershell

[sandinetcom]

Hello,

We are attempting to modify GFS days, for example, my jobs set gfs is Monday, and we need to change Saturday with some jobs, as well as change synthetic full backup days from Monday to Saturday with some jobs.
Please help me with PowerShell commands for those.

Hi Sandip,

To clarify - what kind of jobs you are aiming to change GFS settings for? For example, VMware/Hyper-V Backup, Backup Copy, Agent Management Backup etc.


Best regards,
Oleg

Hi Sandip,

For agent backup jobs it's pretty straightforward. For example, to change weekly GFS and synth full days to Saturday, try the following:

Code: Select all

$agentJob = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name 'Agent Backup Job 1'
$gfsOptions = $agentJob.GFSOptions
$synthFullOptions = $agentJob.SyntheticFullOptions
$weeklyGFSOptions = Set-VBRComputerGFSWeeklyOptions -Options $gfsOptions.WeeklyOptions -SelectedDay Saturday
$newSynthFullOptions = Set-VBRSyntheticFullOptions -Options $synthFullOptions -Days Saturday
$newGfsOptions = Set-VBRGFSOptions -GFSOptions $gfsOptions -GFSWeeklyOptions $weeklyGFSOptions -GFSMonthlyOptions $gfsOptions.MonthlyOptions -GFSYearlyOptions $gfsOptions.YearlyOptions
Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -Job $agentJob -GFSOptions $newGfsOptions -SyntheticFullOptions $newSynthFullOptions

All the cmdlets above are referenced in this section.

For backup copy jobs it would depend on the product version. For v12 use Set-VBRBackupCopyJob cmdlet with the same algorithm as for Set-VBRComputerBackupJob. For example:

Code: Select all

$copyJob = Get-VBRBackupCopyJob -Name 'Backup Copy Job 1'
$gfsOptions = $copyJob.GFSOptions
$weeklyGFSOptions = Set-VBRGFSWeeklyOptions -Options $gfsOptions.WeeklyOptions -SelectedDay Saturday
$newGfsOptions = Set-VBRGFSOptions -GFSOptions $gfsOptions -GFSWeeklyOptions $weeklyGFSOptions -GFSMonthlyOptions $gfsOptions.MonthlyOptions -GFSYearlyOptions $gfsOptions.YearlyOptions
Set-VBRBackupCopyJob -Job $copyJob -GFSOptions $newGfsOptions

Best regards,
Oleg
