Short Description
Creates a vCloud backup job.
Applies to
Platform: VMware
Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License
Syntax
Add-VBRvCloudJob -Entity <IVcdItem[]> [-Name <String>] [-BackupRepository <CBackupRepository>] [-Description <String>] [-HighPriority] [-TargetBackup <CBackup>] [<CommonParameters>] |
Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates a new vCloud backup job.
You should always use vCD backup jobs to back up VMs managed by vCloud Director. If you back up VMs managed by vCloud Director using a regular backup job, Veeam Backup & Replication will perform backup at the level of the underlying vCenter Server and will not capture vApp metadata. As a result, it will not let you restore a fully functioning VM to vCloud Director.
Note that when you create a backup job, you need to run it manually unless you enable a job schedule.
Run the Start-VBRJob cmdlet to start the created job.
Run the Set-VBRJobSchedule cmdlet to set schedule for the job.
