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.

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:

  1. Run the Get-VSBApplicationGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ExchangeAppgroup variable.
  2. Run the Get-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $VLab01 variable.
  3. Run the Get-VBRJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value.
  4. 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:

  1. Run the Get-VSBApplicationGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ExchangeAppgroup variable.
  2. Run the Get-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $VLab01 variable.
  3. 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.

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

Perform the following steps:

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