Hi Micha,

Not sure I fully understand what you're talking about. Would like to start VeeamZIP jobs according to a defined scheduled automatically?

Thanks!

[Micha21]

excactly. i will create a backup job per Powershell script.
and i will start the back up with a powershell script, an d i need a code example for this

Currently there are no PowerShell cmdlets that would allow you to launch VeeamZIP jobs, see this topic for further details: 6.1 - VeeamZip Scheduled jobs?

On the other hand, If you're using paid version of Veeam B&R then you can schedule your backup jobs using PS scripts. Please take a look at existing topics for cmdlet examples: http://forums.veeam.com/search.php?st=d ... d%5B%5D=26

ok, i have the 30 Day Trial Version from Veeam BR. and i will testing the Backup with Powershell.
You mean i have no chance with the free Version.

Yes, PowerShell API is only available with paid edition of our product. Thanks!

i will only create a veeam zip per Powershell script.


can give me a Code Example, which looks in the Paid Version

[Vitaliy S.]

Reading back through my response above, there are no PowerShell cmdlets for Veeam ZIP yet.

[Micha21]

also i have no chance in the Version 6.1 created and started Basckup with Powershell.
can i make this without ZIP in this Version

[Vitaliy S.]

With free version you can do ad-hoc backups only. If you want to use jobs scheduling, you should be using Veeam B&R Standard/Enterprise versions or Veeam Essentials bundle.
