Example 1
This command creates a new Sure Backup job named "Exchange SureJob" using a virtual lab, an application group and a linked job. The VM to verify is obtained by searching for the backup job named "Exchange Backup Job" with Get-VBRJob, and piped down. The virtual lab and the application group objects are obtained with Get-VSBVirtualLab and Get-VSBApplicationGroup and assigned to $VLab01 and $ExchangeAppgroup variables accordingly beforehand.
PS C:\PS> Get-VBRJob -Name "Exchange Backup Job" | Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -AppGroup $ExchangeAppgroup |
Example 2
This command creates a new Sure Backup job named "Exchange SureJob" using a virtual lab, an application group and a linked job. The virtual lab and application group objects are obtained with Get-VSBVirtualLab and Get-VSBApplicationGroup and assigned to $VLab01 and $ExchangeAppgroup variables accordingly beforehand.
PS C:\PS> Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -AppGroup $ExchangeAppgroup |
Example 3
This command creates a new Sure Backup job named "Exchange SureJob" using a virtual lab and an application group. The virtual lab object is obtained with Get-VSBVirtualLab and piped down. The VM to verify is included into the application group, the application group object is obtained with Get-VSBApplicationGroup and assigned to the $ExchangeAppgroup variable beforehand.
PS C:\PS> Get-VSBVirtualLab -Name "Exchange VLab 01" | Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -AppGroup $ExchangeAppgroup |
Example 4
This command creates a new Sure Backup job named "Exchange SureJob" using a virtual lab and a linked job. The virtual lab object is obtained with Get-VSBVirtualLab and assigned to $VLab01 variable beforehand. The VM to verify is obtained with Get-VBRJob and assigned to the $ExchangeBackup variable beforehand.
PS C:\PS> Add-VSBJob -Name "Exchange SureJob" -VirtualLab $VLab01 -LinkedJob $ExchangeBackup |
