Short Description
Customizes advanced job storage settings.
Applies to
Platform: VMware, Hyper-V
Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License
Syntax
Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -Job <CBackupJob[]> [-EnableDeduplication [<Boolean>]] [-CompressionLevel <Int32>] [-StorageBlockSize <EKbBlockSize>] [-EnableEncryption [<Boolean>]] [-EncryptionKey <PSCryptoKey>][<CommonParameters>] |
Detailed Description
This cmdlet sets storage options for the selected job.
You can enable backup data deduplication and customize data units compression level and size.

Parameters
Parameter | Description | Required | Position | Accept | Accept |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Job | Specifies the array of jobs. The cmdlet will modify advanced storage options of these jobs. | True | Named | True (ByValue, | False |
EnableDeduplication | Indicates that the job will deduplicate. If set to TRUE, the data will be deduplicated during the backup job run (recommended). Otherwise, no data will be checked for duplication. | False | Named | False | False |
CompressionLevel | Specifies the compression level for the created backup: AUTO _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = -1, NONE _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 0, DEDUPE _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 4, OPTIMAL _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 5, HIGH _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 6, EXTREME _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 9 Default: OPTIMAL. | False | Named | False | False |
StorageBlockSize | Specifies the integer defining the data blocks size. Larger sized blocks provide faster procession but lower deduplication level. 0 = KbBlockSize256, 1 = KbBlockSize512, 3 = KbBlockSize1024, 4 = KbBlockSize2048, 5 = KbBlockSize4096, 6 = KbBlockSize8192, 7= Automatic. | False | Named | False | False |
EnableEncryption | Indicates if the job must use encryption. Use the EncryptionKey parameter to specify the encryption key. | False | Named | False | False |
EncryptionKey | Used to specify the encryption key for the EnableEncryption parameter. | False | Named | False | False |
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About CommonParameters section of Microsoft Docs.
Example 1
This command edits advanced storage settings for the backup jobs named "Backup Job 01" and "Backup Job 02".
- The EnableDeduplication parameter is set to enable data deduplication,
- The compression level is set to none (0),
- The storage blocks size is set to Automatic.
The jobs are obtained with Get-VBRJob and piped down.
Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 01", "Backup Job 02" | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -EnableDeduplication $True -CompressionLevel 0 -StorageBlockSize 7 |
Example 2
This command applies the optimal compression level (=5) to all jobs. The jobs are obtained with Get-VBRJob and piped down.
