New-VBRDailyOptions

[Ian007]

I have a script that runs at the ened of the month and switches some backups over for tapes. This is done to create month end tapes we send off to be archived.

Anyway, part of the script

Code: Select all

New-VBRDailyOptions -Type SelectedDays -DayOfWeek 'Sunday' -Period 01:00 -AlwaysCopyFromLatestFull

we use to switch the backup to use "Process latest full backup chain only" so that only the last full plus any incremental up to that point were transferred to tape.

Recently we had an issue with SOBR tiering and upgraded to Version 11 to correct the fault.

Now when the powershell script runs, the script section returns an error.

Code: Select all

New-VBRDailyOptions : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'AlwaysCopyFromLatestFull'

Am I understanding correctly and this switch is no loner available in New-VBRDailyOptions? is this available to script in another way?

Full Script is below to give full context.

Code: Select all

Apologies.

After taking a break and making some tea, I found the issue. Sorry for wasting you time.

Code: Select all

Set-VBRBackupToTapeJob -Job "Monthly Tape Job LTO6" -AlwaysCopyFromLatestFull -ScheduleOptions (New-VBRBackupToTapeScheduleOptions -Enabled -DailyOptions (New-VBRDailyOptions -Type SelectedDays -DayOfWeek $MonthlySun -Period 01:00))

Moved the switch to VBRBackupToTapeJob and it is working again. Now am not sure why it worked before.

Hi Ian,

This is really weird because -AlwaysCopyFromLatestFull parameter was never a part New-VBRDailyOptions cmdlet. It doesn't even make sense, this option is not related to a job schedule configuration by any means. My first assumption was that in previous versions we didn't have a parameter validation for New-VBRDailyOptions cmdlet in place, but I tested it in v9.5b and got the same error message when trying to execute New-VBRDailyOptions -AlwaysCopyFromLatestFull.

Best regards,
Oleg
