Use Set-VBRBackupRepository to uncheck properties

[Nail.Mukhametshin]

Hi there!

I had this code to enable UsePerVMFile checkbox:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Backup Repository" | ft Name,SplitStoragesPerVm -AutoSize

Name                    SplitStoragesPerVm
----                    ------------------
003 - Backup Repository              False


PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Backup Repository" | Set-VBRBackupRepository -UsePerVMFile

IsDedupStorage                 : False

But how I can to uncheck it?

Code: Select all

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Backup Repository" | Set-VBRBackupRepository -UsePerVMFile $false

Hi Nail,

In this case you need to separate a switch parameter from its boolean value with a colon:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Backup Repository" | Set-VBRBackupRepository -UsePerVMFile:$false

Thanks,
Oleg
