v8 add credential to vssoptions

[ns407]

Hello,

Trying to figure out how to add credentials to vssoptions in v8.

It appears that the credentials property is no longer present and instead I see either a method or property that seems to be the replacement

ApplyCreds Method void ApplyCreds(guid winCredsId, guid linCredsId)
WinCredsId Property guid WinCredsId {get;set;}

The problem is both of those items are wanting a guid and the credential object does not have this property available.

Can you tell me what particular credentials you want to specify "Guest Processing -> Guest OS credentials" or "Guest Processing -> Credentials... -> Guest OS Credentials"?

Looking at "Guest Processing -> Guest OS credentials" currently

Then, you should the following code:

Code: Select all

$Credentials = Get-VBRCredentials -name "Name of your credentials"
$Job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Name of your backup job"
Set-VBRJobVssOptions -Job $Job -Credentials $Credentials

Thanks.

Yup that worked, thanks!

Prior to upgrading to Veeam 8, running on Veeam 7, the following settings worked.

Code: Select all

$VSSJobOptions = $JobnameObject.GetVssOptions()
$VSSJobOptions.TransactionLogsTruncation = "Never"
$VSSJobOptions.IgnoreErrors = $True
$VSSJobOptions.Credentials = $Credentials

Here are the Members:

These properties are no longer there.
I assume to set Truncation use

$VSSOptions.SqlBackupOptions.TransactionLogsProcessing = "NeverTruncate"

But still do not know how to set credentials?

Thanks for your help.
