Characters

Options

Specifies application processing settings that you want to modify.

Accepts the VBRApplicationProcessingOptions type.

True

Named

True (ByValue)

 

Enable

Enables application-aware processing. Veeam Backup & Replication will turn on the application-aware processing option for the selected protection group or a discovered computer.

NOTE: For Veeam Agent jobs that back up Linux computers, this parameter will also stop the backup process if any error occurs during application-aware processing.

False

Named

False

 

IgnoreErrors

Defines that Veeam Backup & Replication will ignore application processing errors. In case an error occurs during application-aware processing, Veeam Backup & Replication will continue to run the backup job. The resulting backup will be crash-consistent.

NOTE: This parameter works for Veeam Agent jobs that back up Linux computers only. You must use the Enable parameter to set up processing options with the IgnoreErrors option.

False

Named

False

 

GeneralTransactionLogAction

Specifies transaction logs action:

  • ProcessLogsWithJob: use this option to allow Veeam Backup & Replication to process transaction logs.
    NOTE: For Veeam Agent job that backs up Windows computers this option enables SQL and Oracle logs processing options.
  • PerformCopyOnly: use this option if you use another tool to maintain consistency of the database state. Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will create a copy-only backup.

NOTE:

  • This parameter is required for Veeam Agent backup jobs that back up Windows computers.
  • This parameter does not work for Veeam Agent backup jobs that back up Linux computers.

False

Named

False

 

SQLProcessingOptions

Specifies SQL processing settings.

Accepts the VBRSQLProcessingOptions type.

False

Named

False

 

SharePointCredentials

Specifies the credentials for the SharePoint user account that has enough permissions on the application. Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will use these credentials to connect to SharePoint and to back up the application.

Accepts the CCredentials type.

False

Named

False

 

OracleProcessingOptions

Specifies Oracle processing settings.

Accepts the VBRScriptProcessingOptions type.

False

Named

False

 

ScriptProcessingOptions

Specifies custom script settings. Veeam Agent will run pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts per these settings.

Accepts the VBRScriptProcessingOptions type.

False

Named

False

 

MySQLProcessingOptions

Specifies MySQL processing settings. Veeam Agent will apply these settings to a Veeam Agent backup job.

Accepts the VBRMySQLProcessingOptions type.

False

Named

False

 

PostgreSQLProcessingOptions

Specifies PostgreSQL processing settings. Veeam Agent will apply these settings to a Veeam Agent backup job.

Accepts the VBRPostgreSQLProcessingOptions type.

False

Named

False

 

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About CommonParameters section of Microsoft Docs.

Return Type

Example 1

This example shows how to disable Oracle and SQL processing settings for a Veeam Agent job that backs up Windows computers.

  1. Run Get-VBRProtectionGroup to get the protection group, for which you want to modify application-aware processing settings. Save the result to the $group variable.
  2. Run New-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions to specify the application-aware processing settings. Save the result to the $processoptions variable.
  3. Run Set-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions with the $group and $processoptions variables. Set the PerformCopyOnly for the GeneralTransactionLogAction parameter to disable transaction logs processing for both Oracle and SQL.

$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -name "Windows Group"

$processoptions = New-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions -BackupObject $group -OSPlatform Windows -Enable -GeneralTransactionLogAction ProcessLogsWithJob -SQLProcessingOptions $sql -SharePointCredentials $creds

Set-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions -Options $processoptions -Enable -GeneralTransactionLogAction PerformCopyOnly -SharePointCredentials $creds -ScriptProcessingOptions $script

Example 2

This example shows how to modify application-aware processing settings for a Veeam Agent backup job that backs up Linux computers. The job will run with the following options:

  • Veeam Backup & Replication will run pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts to create a transactionally consistent backup.
  • Veeam Backup & Replication will use a user account that has SYSDBA rights on the database to connect to the Oracle database.
  • In case an error occurs, Veeam Backup & Replication will stop the backup job.

To modify the settings, perform the following steps:

  1. Run Get-VBRProtectionGroup to get the protection group. Save the result to the $group variable.
  2. Run New-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions to specify the application-aware processing settings. Save the result to the $processoptions variable.
  3. Run Set-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions with the $group and $processoptions variables. Use the Enable parameter to stop the backup job in case an error occurs.

$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name "Linux Group"

$processoptions = New-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions -BackupObject $group -OSPlatform Linux -IgnoreErrors -OracleProcessingOptions $oracle -ScriptProcessingOptions $script

Set-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions -Options $processoptions -OracleProcessingOptions $oracle -ScriptProcessingOptions $script -Enable
