Backup copy jobs for VAW

Post by arun.kr »

Hello Everyone,

we have multiple VAW jobs configured and pointing to VBR server. as per the requirement, we have to take offsite backup of those agents. So i need to create backup copy jobs for each endpoint job.

I can create copy jobs From powershell command but to create multiple jobs every time i will have to execute the same.

Code: Select all

$Job = Get-VBRJob -Name 'Template Backup Copy Jobs'
$repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -name "name of repo"
Add-VBREpBackupCopyJob -Name ELV_SW_OFFSITE -Backup $job -Repository $repo -DirectOperation 
# then I am running commands to set various job options.
$Options = $Job.GetOptions()
options.....
$Job.SetOptions($Options)
So i am looking for a script to create multiple backup copy job for VAW jobs.

Thanks in advance
Arun

Try the following:

Code: Select all

$AgentJobs = Get-VBREPJob

foreach ($AgentJob in $AgentJobs.Name) {
    $repo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "AGENTS"
    Add-VBREpBackupCopyJob -Name "ELV_SW_OFFSITE_$AgentJob" -Description "Backup job for $AgentJob" -Backup $AgentJob -Repository $Repo -DirectOperation
}

Hello Niels,

Thanks for your help.
Add-VBREpBackupCopyJob -Name "ELV_SW_OFFSITE_$AgentJob"
is there any way I can use "computer name_offsite". this is the std, we are following for all jobs. in above example "ELV_WS" is computer name and offsite is suffix for secondary backup job.

Thanks
Arun
