Surebackup in V10 - Selecting VMs from prod groups

[baremetalbrisbane]

Our current script uses an older commandlet which is deprecated. The new commandlets in V10 supports options so we can disable the ping check and just use heartbeat

However, we need to create a new-surebackupvm object by using the get-vbrjobobject. However, get-vbrjobobject can’t see VM’s not explicitly listed in the job, eg if a resource pool is selected in the job, only the resource pool is visible. We are looking to only verify a small amount of virtual machines at a time on a Friday. Not the entire prod group

Is there anyway around this?

Hello,
SureBackup job accepts two sources (independently from powershell or not):

1) a backup jobs
2) an application group

So the workaround would be to create an application group.

Best regards,
