Syntax
Add-VBRScaleOutBackupRepository -PolicyType <VBRScaleOutBackupRepositoryPolicyType> {DataLocality | Performance} -Extent <CBackupRepository[]> [-Name <string>] [-Description <string>] [-UsePerVMBackupFiles] [-PerformFullWhenExtentOffline] [<CommonParameters>] |
Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates a scale-out backup repository.
You can create a repository with a selected policy:
- With the DataLocality policy, the dependent backups are placed to the same extent (for example, restore points of one VM).
- With the Performance policy, Veeam distributes backups in order to provide better performance. With this policy, you can additionally configure extents to store only full backups, only incremental backups or full and incremental backups (default). Run Set-VBRRepositoryExtent to set the backup placement mode.
