Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input	Accept Wildcard Characters
Job	Specifies the job you want to edit. You can assign multiple jobs to this object.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)	False
Enable Deduplication	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
Compression Level	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
Storage BlockSize	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
Enable Encryption	Indicates if the job must use encryption. Use the EncryptionKey parameter to specify the encryption key.	False	Named	False	False
Encryption Key	Used to specify the encryption key for the EnableEncryption parameter. Accepts PSCryptoKey object.	False	Named	False	False

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 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.

PS C:\PS> Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 01", "Backup Job 02" | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -EnableDeduplication -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.

PS C:\PS> Get-VBRJob | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -CompressionLevel 5
