  2. Run the Set-VBRNASBackupJob cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
  • Set the $Job variable as the Job parameter value.
  • Specify the LongTermBackupRepository parameter value.
  • Specify the EnableLongTermRetention parameter value.
  • Set the Yearly option for the LongTermRetentionType parameter value.
  • Specify the LongTermRetentionPeriod parameter value.

Set-VBRNASBackupJobExample 3. Enabling Secondary Target Repository

This example shows how to enable the secondary repository for the file backup job. The secondary repository will be created with the following settings:

  • Veeam Backup & Replication will apply a retention policy that is set to the file backup job.
  • Veeam Backup & Replication will apply an encryption key that is set to the file backup job.
  • Veeam Backup & Replication will copy data to the repository continuously.

 

$job = Get-VBRNASBackup -Name "NFS Backup"

$secondary = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "Repository 09"

Set-VBRNASBackupJob -Job $job -EnableSecondaryTarget -SecondaryTarget $secondary

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRNASBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $job variable.
