Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates a new Cloud Director backup job.
You should always use Cloud Director backup jobs to back up VMs managed by Cloud Director. If you back up VMs managed by Cloud 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 Cloud 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.
