Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates the VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions object that defines the following setting of CDP policies:

  • Recovery point objective (RPO) — a setting that defines the maximum allowed time of the data loss in case the production VM is down.
  • Retention policy — a setting that defines the schedule for the short-term and long-term retention policies.
  • RPO reports settings — a setting that defines when CDP policies are marked with the RPO warning or error.
  • Schedule — a setting that defines when a CDP policy must create crash-consistent and application-consistent backups.

RPOIntervalType

Specifies RPO settings. The cmdlet will schedule the CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs. You can set one of the following units of time:

  • Minutes: Use this option to schedule a CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs every N minutes.
  • Seconds: Use this option to schedule a CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs every N seconds.

Default: Seconds.

VBRCDPRPOIntervalType

False

Named

False

RPOInterval

Specifies a number of minutes or seconds for the RPO settings. The cmdlet will schedule the CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs every N seconds or minutes.

Default: 15

Int

False

Named

False

BackupWindow

Specifies a time interval within which a CDP policy is allowed to create a replicated state of the source VMs.

Accepts the VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To get this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet.

False

Named

False

ShortTermRetentionIntervalType

For a short-term retention policy.

Specifies a period during which Veeam Backup & Replication will store a replicated state of the source VMs on a target datastore. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:

  • Minutes: Use this option to store a replicated state of the source VMs for last N minutes.
  • Hours: Use this option to store a replicated state of the source VMs for last N hours.

Default: Hours.

VBRCDPRetentionIntervalType

False

Named

False

ShortTermRetentionInterval

For a short-term retention settings.

Specifies a number of minutes or hours to store a replicated state of the source VMs. The cmdlet will schedule a CDP policy to store a replicated state of the source VMs only for last N minutes or hours.

Default: 4

Int

False

Named

False

LongTermRetentionIntervalType

For a long-term retention settings.

Specifies a period when a CDP policy must create long-term restore points. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:

  • Minutes: Use this option to create a long-term restore point every N minutes.
  • Hours: Use this option to create a long-term restore point every N hours.

Default: Hours.

VBRCDPRetentionIntervalType

False

Named

False

LongTermRetentionFrequency

For a long-term retention settings.

Specifies how often a CDP policy must create a long-term restore point. The cmdlet will schedule the CDP policy to create a restore point every N hours.

Default: 8.

Int

False

Named

False

LongTermRetentionInterval

For a long-term retention settings.

Specifies a number of days to keep a long-term restore point in a datastore. After this period is passed, Veeam Backup & Replication will delete a long-term restore point.

Default: 7.

Int

False

Named

False

ApplicationProcessingBackupWindow

Specifies a schedule that defines when a CDP policy must create crash-consistent and application-consistent backups.

Accepts the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To get this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet.

False

Named

False

EnableRPOMarkAsWarning

For RPO reports.

Enables RPO warning reports for a CDP policy.

Bool

False

Named

False

MarkJobAsWarningThreshold

For RPO reports.

Specifies an allowed time limit of the exceeded RPO. Veeam Backup & Replication will send notification with a warning if this time limit is reached.

Defaule: 2.

Int

False

Named

False

MarkJobAsWarningIntervalType

For RPO reports.

Specifies a time interval of the exceeded RPO. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:

  • Seconds: Use this option to get a warning notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N seconds.
  • Minutes: Use this option to get a warning notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N minutes.

Default: Seconds.

VBRCDPRPOIntervalType

False

Named

False

EnableRPOMarkAsError

For RPO reports.

Enables RPO error reports for a CDP policy.

Bool

False

Named

False

MarkJobAsErrorThreshold

Specifies an allowed time limit of the exceeded RPO. Veeam Backup & Replication will send notification with a warning if this time limit is reached.

Defaule: 3.

Int

False

Named

False

MarkJobAsErrorIntervalType

For RPO reports.

Specifies a time interval of the exceeded RPO. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:

  • Seconds: Use this option to get an error notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N seconds.
  • Minutes: Use this option to get an error notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N minutes.
