Example 1

This command creates a new Sure Backup job named "Exchange SureJob" using a virtual lab, an application group and a linked job. The VM to verify is obtained by searching for the backup job named "Exchange Backup Job" with Get-VBRJob, and piped down. The virtual lab and the application group objects are obtained with Get-VSBHvVirtualLab and Get-VSBApplicationGroup and assigned to $VLab01 and $"Exchange Appgroup" variables accordingly beforehand.

PS C:\PS> Get-VBRJob -Name "Exchange Backup Job" | Add-VSBHvJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -AppGroup $"Exchange Appgroup"

Example 2

This command creates a new Sure Backup job named "Exchange SureJob" using a virtual lab, an application group and a linked job. The virtual lab and application group objects are obtained with Get-VSBHvVirtualLab and Get-VSBApplicationGroup and assigned to $VLab01 and $"Exchange Appgroup" variables accordingly beforehand.

PS C:\PS> Add-VSBHvJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -AppGroup $"Exchange Appgroup"

Example 3

This command creates a new Sure Backup job named "Exchange SureJob" using a virtual lab and an application group. The virtual lab object is obtained with Get-VSBHvVirtualLab and piped down.
