Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates the VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions object that defines the following setting of CDP policies:
- Recovery point objective (RPO) — a setting that defines the maximum allowed time of the data loss in case the production VM is down.
- Retention policy — a setting that defines the schedule for the short-term and long-term retention policies.
- RPO reports settings — a setting that defines when CDP policies are marked with the RPO warning or error.
- Schedule — a setting that defines when a CDP policy must create crash-consistent and application-consistent backups.
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Type | Required | Position | Accept Pipeline Input |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BackupWindow | Specifies a time interval within which a CDP policy is allowed to create a replicated state of the source VMs. | Accepts the VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To get this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet. | False | Named | False |
ShortTermRetentionIntervalType | For a short-term retention policy. Specifies a period during which Veeam Backup & Replication will store a replicated state of the source VMs on a target datastore. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:
Default: Hours. | VBRCDPRetentionIntervalType | False | Named | False |
ShortTermRetentionInterval | For short-term retention settings. Specifies a number of minutes or hours to store a replicated state of the source VMs. The cmdlet will schedule a CDP policy to store a replicated state of the source VMs only for last N minutes or hours. Default: 4 | Int | False | Named | False |
LongTermRetentionFrequency | For long-term retention settings. Specifies how often a CDP policy must create a long-term restore point. The cmdlet will schedule the CDP policy to create a restore point every N hours. Default: 8. | Int | False | Named | False |
ApplicationProcessingBackupWindow | Specifies a schedule that defines when a CDP policy must create crash-consistent and application-consistent backups. | Accepts the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To get this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet. | False | Named | False |
EnableRPOMarkAsWarning | For RPO reports. Enables RPO warning reports for a CDP policy. | Bool | False | Named | False |
HourlyOffset | Used for adjusting the application processing backup window. Specifies the number of minutes (1-59). The schedule will be shifted for the specified number of minutes. For example, you schedule creation of crash-consistent restore points from 00:00 to 01:00, and set the offset value to 25. The schedule will be shifted forward, and the crash-consistent restore points will be created from 0:25 and to 01:25. | Int | False | Named | False |
MarkJobAsWarningThreshold | For RPO reports. Specifies an allowed time limit of the exceeded RPO. Veeam Backup & Replication will send a notification with a warning if this time limit is reached. Default: 2. | Int | False | Named | False |
MarkJobAsWarningIntervalType | For RPO reports. Specifies a time interval of the exceeded RPO. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:
Default: Seconds. | VBRCDPRPOIntervalType | False | Named | False |
EnableRPOMarkAsError | For RPO reports. Enables RPO error reports for a CDP policy. | Bool | False | Named | False |
MarkJobAsErrorThreshold | For RPO reports. Specifies an allowed time limit of the exceeded RPO. Veeam Backup & Replication will send notification with a warning if this time limit is reached. Default: 3. | Int | False | Named | False |
MarkJobAsErrorIntervalType | For RPO reports. Specifies a time interval of the exceeded RPO. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:
Default: Seconds. | VBRCDPRPOIntervalType | False | Named | False |
RPOFrequencyType | Specifies RPO settings. The cmdlet will schedule the CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs. You can set one of the following units of time:
Default: Seconds. | VBRCDPRPOIntervalType | False | Named | False |
RPOFrequency | Specifies a number of minutes or seconds for the RPO settings. The cmdlet will schedule the CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs every N seconds or minutes. Default: 15 | Int | False | Named | False |
LongTermRetentionNumber | For long-term retention settings. Specifies a number of days to keep a long-term restore point in a datastore. After this period is passed, Veeam Backup & Replication will delete a long-term restore point. Default: 7. | Int32 | False | Named | False |
LongTermRetentionFrequencyType | For long-term retention settings. Specifies a period when a CDP policy must create long-term restore points. You can set the period in one of the following units of time:
Default: Hours. | VBRCDPRetentionIntervalType | False | Named | False |

Output Object
The cmdlet returns the VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions object that defines retention policy and schedule settings of CDP policies.
Examples
Example 1. Defining RPO Settings for CDP Policy
This example shows how to define the following RPO settings for a CDP policy:
Perform the following steps:
|
Example 2. Defining Short-Term Retention for CDP Policy
This command schedules a CDP policy to keep only those VM replicated states that were created within last 2 hours.
|
Example 3. Defining Long-Term Retention for CDP Policy
This command schedules a CDP policy to create a long-term restore points every 3 hours.
