Applies to

Platform: VMware, Hyper-V

Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus

Syntax

This cmdlet provides the following parameter sets.

To assign specific backup proxies to a job

Detailed Description

This cmdlet assigns a specific proxy to a job or enables automatic proxy selection.

When you create a job, the proxy server is set automatically by default. With this cmdlet, you can assign a custom proxy to a job or set the automatic proxy selection back.

You can run this cmdlet with backup and replica jobs.

Set-VBRJobProxy Important!

If you want to set a custom proxy you should make sure that the proxy server is added to Veeam Backup & Replication console, otherwise you will not be able to assign it to the job. The custom proxy server should be configured appropriately. Read more about proxy server settings in Veeam Backup & Replication user guide at http://www.veeam.com/vmware-backup/help-center.

Run Get-VBRJobProxy to get the list of proxies assigned to a specific job.
