Parameters
Parameter | Description | Type | Required | Position | Accept Pipeline Input |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Backup | Specifies backup file. The cmdlet will return the backup file you want to link to the new backup copy job. | Accepts the CBackup object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. | True | Named | True (ByValue) |
TargetJob | Specifies a backup copy job to which you want to map a backup file. | Accepts the VBRBackupCopyJob object. To create this object, run the Get-VBRBackupCopyJob cmdlet. | True | Named | False |
