Re: copy a backup job
Unfortunately, you cannot re-use existing jobs as a template for creating new jobs, you need to configure a new one. Thanks!

Note for future readers, v6 will provide the job cloning capability.

Re: copy a backup job
v5 Sort of does already via the Copy-VBRJob does it not?
Something like this should work
Something like this should work
Code: Select all
$job = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.name -eq "Test Job"}
Copy-VBRJob -job $job
$newjob = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.name -eq $job.name + " Copy"}
$vbrserver = Get-VBRServer | Where {$_.Type -eq "VC"}
Add-VBRJobObject -Job $newjob -Server $vbrserver -Object "VMToAdd"

Re: copy a backup job
I've been having a mess about with the Copy-VBRJob but it only partially works, seems to copy everything apart from the jobobjects after throwing an error about a folder not found
Code: Select all
Get-VBRJob | Where {$_.Name -eq "Test Job"} | Copy-VBRJob

Re: copy a backup job
Thomas, you are correct that it copies all the settings but does not copy the objects with it. Some older folder-id information seems to be in the code:)

Re: copy a backup job
Thanks Seth, suppose we could do this to copy it properly until its fixed
Code: Select all
Add-PsSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn
$uinput = Read-Host "Enter Job Name"
function addjo{
Param ([string]$vmname)
$newjob = Get-VBRJob | ?{$_.name -eq $uinput + " Copy"}
$vbrserver = Get-VBRServer | Where {$_.Type -eq "VC"}
Add-VBRJobObject -Job $newjob -Server $vbrserver -Object $vmname
}
Get-VBRJob | Where {$_.Name -eq $uinput} | Copy-VBRJob -erroraction silentlycontinue
Get-VBRJob | Where {$_.Name -eq $uinput} | Get-VBRJobObject | ForEach-Object {addjo $_.name}
