Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates a new Hyper-V application group.

This cmdlet provides two scenarios. You can add VMs to your application group either by searching for existing VMs or by adding a restore point containing the VMs you need.

Note that you can set the order the VMs in the application group will be powered on when the SureBackup job starts. This may be important if any of the applications must be started prior to other. The VMs are powered in the order they were added to the VM object in this cmdlet.
