Schedule quickbackup

[frankive]

Sometimes we have to work on server on the nights and when we do that we like that we have a fresh copy of the VM..
I am aware of quick backup which let us select a VM in a larger backup job.

But;
Is it possible to schedule this quickbackup of that particular VM? Nice to schedule 9.30 when we know we will work on the server 10.00 and the VM takes 25 min. to backup f.ex
I am sure we can do that with powershell, but how about show that powershell code in the quick backup wizard at the same time we confirm we want to run the quickbackup?
Than we could paste the code directly into a .ps1 and schedule it with task scheduler eventually.

You're right that it's possible via PS. The script itself should be quite simple, something like the following:

Code: Select all

Start-VBRQuickBackup -VM (Find-VBRViEntity -Server (Get-VBRServer -Name "Name of vCenter") -Name ("Name of VM to backup"))

Thanks.
