Set GFS for backup copy job

[matteu]

Hello,

The cmdlet Set-VBRJobOptions is not anymore supported to configure GFS on backup copy job.
How to configure it ?

If I do this, it doesn't work :

Code: Select all

$weekly = New-VBRComputerGFSWeeklyOptions -RetentionPeriod 3 -SelectedDay Wednesday
$monthly = New-VBRComputerGFSMonthlyOptions -RetentionPeriod 3 -SelectedWeek First
$yearly = New-VBRComputerGFSYearlyOptions -RetentionPeriod 2 -SelectedMonth November
$gfs = New-VBRComputerGFSOptions -GFSWeeklyOptions $weekly -GFSMonthlyOptions $monthly -GFSYearlyOptions $yearly

Set-VBRBackupCopyJob -Job $BackupCopyJob -RPOWarningOptions $BackupCopyRPO -GFSOptions $GFSOptions | Out-Null

The value of $gfs is empty and the cmdlet New-VBRComputerGFSOptions in the documentation indicates it's only for agent job.

OK forget it, I just didn't use the correct variables.
This one is working fine.

Set-VBRBackupCopyJob -Job $BackupCopyJob -RPOWarningOptions $BackupCopyRPO -GFSOptions $gfs | Out-Null

Hello Matteu,

I'm trying to update GFS yearly retention of all my copy job

$jobs = Get-VBRBackupCopyJob | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "TEST_VMWCOPY*" }
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
$yearly = New-VBRComputerGFSYearlyOptions -RetentionPeriod 5 -SelectedMonth January
$gfs = New-VBRComputerGFSOptions -GFSYearlyOptions $yearly
Set-VBRBackupCopyJob -Job $job -GFSOptions $gfs
}

yearly value has been updated successfully but I lost monthly and weekly value. Could you please help to keep values?

Thank you for your support.

Regards,
Eric

You need to configure all thé value as I did in my code because the cmdlet will override existing configuration.
If you don t specify monthly and weekly, it will not be setup
