This cmdlet modifies retention setting of CDP policies. To modify settings, you need to specify new values for the necessary parameters. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Options	Specifies retention settings of CDP policies that you want to modify.	Accepts the VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions cmdlet.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
RPOIntervalType	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: Minutes: Use this option to schedule a CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs every N minutes. Seconds: Use this option to schedule a CDP policy to create a replicated state of the source VMs every N seconds. Default: Seconds.	VBRCDPRPOIntervalType	False	Named	False
RPOInterval	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
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: Minutes: Use this option to store a replicated state of the source VMs for last N minutes. Hours: Use this option to store a replicated state of the source VMs for last N hours. Default: Hours.	VBRCDPRetentionIntervalType	False	Named	False
ShortTermRetentionInterval	For a 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
LongTermRetentionIntervalType	For a 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: Minutes: Use this option to create a long-term restore point every N minutes. Hours: Use this option to create a long-term restore point every N hours. Default: Hours.	VBRCDPRetentionIntervalType	False	Named	False
LongTermRetentionFrequency	For a long-term retention option. 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
LongTermRetentionInterval	For a long-term retention option. Specifies a number of days to keep a long-term restore point on a datastore. After this period is passed, Veeam Backup & Replication will delete a long-term restore point. Default: 7.	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
MarkJobAsWarningThreshold	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. Defaule: 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: Seconds: Use this option to get a warning notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N seconds. Minutes: Use this option to get a warning notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N minutes. 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. Defaule: 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: Seconds: Use this option to get an error notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N seconds. Minutes: Use this option to get an error notification after a time interval of the exceeded RPO reaches N minutes. Default: Seconds.	VBRCDPRPOIntervalType	False	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About CommonParameters section of Microsoft Docs.

Output Object

The cmdlet returns the VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions object that defines retention policy and schedule settings of CDP policies.

Examples

Set-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions Example 1. Modifying Short-Term Retention for CDP Policy

This example shows how to modify short-term retention for CDP policy to keep keep only those replicated states of the source VMs that were created within last 5 hours.

$options = New-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions -ShortTermRetentionIntervalType Hours -ShortTermRetentionInterval 2

Set-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions -Options $options -ShortTermRetentionInterval 5

Perform the following steps:

Run the New-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions cmdlet. Specify the ShortTermRetentionIntervalType and ShortTermRetentionInterval parameters. Save the result to the $options variable.
Run the Set-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions cmdlet. Set the $options variable as the Options parameter value. Specify the ShortTermRetentionInterval parameter value.

Set-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions Example 2. Modifying Long-Term Retention for CDP Policy

This example shows how to modify long-term retention for CDP policy to create a long-term restore point every 9 hours.

$options = New-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions -LongTermRetentionIntervalType Hours -LongTermRetentionInterval 3

Set-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions -Options $options -LongTermRetentionInterval 9

Perform the following steps:

Run the New-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions cmdlet. Specify the LongTermRetentionIntervalType and LongTermRetentionInterval parameters. Save the result to the $options variable.
Run the Set-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions cmdlet. Set the $options variable as the Options parameter value. Specify the LongTermRetentionInterval parameter value.
