Applies to

Platform: VMware

For Hyper-V, run the Add-VSBHvJob cmdlet.

Product Edition: Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

Syntax

Add-VSBJob [-Name <String>] -VirtualLab <CViSbVirtualLab> [-AppGroup <CSbAppGroup>] [-LinkedJob <CBackupJob[]>] [-Description <String>] [-WarningAction <ActionPreference>] [-WarningVariable <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates a new VMware SureBackup job.

To add VMs that you want to verify to the SureBackup job, you can use an application group containing the list of VMs, or link a backup job which will act as a VM container.

Note that if you link a backup job, the SureBackup job will verify all VMs added to the linked job.

When you create a SureBackup job, you need to run it manually unless you enable a job schedule.

Run the Start-VSBJob cmdlet to start the created SureBackup job.

Run the Set-VSBJobScheduleOptions cmdlet to set schedule for the SureBackup job.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Name	Specifies the name you want to assign to the SureBackup job.	String	False	Named	False
VirtualLab	Specifies the virtual lab you want to use for verification.	Accepts the CViSbVirtualLab object. To get this object, run the Get-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)
AppGroup	Specifies the application group you want to use to provide the copy of the production environment of the verified VM. If you do not use an application group, make sure that the LinkedJob parameter is set.	Accepts the CSbAppGroup object. To get this object, run the Get-VSBApplicationGroup cmdlet.	False	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)
LinkedJob	Specifies the array of backup, replication or copy jobs containing VM you want to verify. If you do not use a linked backup job, make sure that the AppGroup parameter is set.	Accepts the CBackupJob[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRJob cmdlet.	False	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)
Description	Specifies the description of the new SureBackup job.	String	False	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.

Examples

Add-VSBJob (obsolete) Example 1. Creating SureBackup Job Using Virtual Lab, Application Group and Linked Job [Using Pipeline]

This example shows how to create the Exchange SureJob SureBackup job using a virtual lab, an application group and a linked job.

$ExchangeAppgroup = Get-VSBApplicationGroup -Name "MailServer Appgroup"

$VLab01 = Get-VSBVirtualLab -Name "MailServer VLab 01"

Get-VBRJob -Name "Exchange Backup Job" | Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -AppGroup $ExchangeAppgroup

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VSBApplicationGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ExchangeAppgroup variable.
Run the Get-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $VLab01 variable.
Run the Get-VBRJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Add-VSBJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Set the $VLab01 variable as the VirtualLab parameter value. Set the $ExchangeAppgroup variable as the AppGroup parameter value.

This example shows how to create the Exchange SureJob SureBackup job using a virtual lab and an application group.

$ExchangeAppgroup = Get-VSBApplicationGroup -Name "MailServer Appgroup"

$VLab01 = Get-VSBVirtualLab -Name "MailServer VLab 01"

Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -AppGroup $ExchangeAppgroup

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VSBApplicationGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ExchangeAppgroup variable.
Run the Get-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $VLab01 variable.
Run the Add-VSBJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Set the $VLab01 variable as the VirtualLab parameter value. Set the $ExchangeAppgroup variable as the AppGroup parameter value.

This example shows how to create the Exchange SureJob SureBackup job using a virtual lab and an application group.

$ExchangeAppgroup = Get-VSBApplicationGroup -Name "MailServer Appgroup"

Get-VSBVirtualLab -Name "Exchange VLab 01" | Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -AppGroup $ExchangeAppgroup

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VSBApplicationGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ExchangeAppgroup variable.
Run the Get-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Add-VSBJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Set the $ExchangeAppgroup variable as the AppGroup parameter value.

This example shows how to create the Exchange SureJob SureBackup job using a virtual lab and a linked job.

$ExchangeBackup = Get-VBRJob -Name "Exchange Backup Job"

$VLab01 = Get-VSBVirtualLab -Name "MailServer VLab 01"

Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -LinkedJob $ExchangeBackup

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VSBApplicationGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ExchangeAppgroup variable.
Run the Get-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $VLab01 variable.
Run the Add-VSBJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Set the $VLab01 variable as the VirtualLab parameter value. Set the $ExchangeAppgroup variable as the AppGroup parameter value.
