Examples

Set-VBRHvServerVolume Example 1. Modifying VSS Provider Settings

This example shows how to modify volume-specific settings and set a VSS provider for a volume located on the Microsoft Hyper-V host. Veeam Backup & Replication will use the Microsoft File Share Shadow Copy provider to create VSS snapshots of the volume.

$server = Get-VBRServer -Name hyperv09.tech.local

$volume = Get-VBRHvServerVolume -Server $server

$provider = Get-VBRHvVssProvider -Server $server -Name "Microsoft File Share Shadow Copy provider"

Set-VBRHvServerVolume -Volume $volume -VSSProvider $provider

Perform the following steps:

Get the volume settings:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $server variable.
Run the Get-VBRHvServerVolume cmdlet. Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value. Save the result to the $volume variable.

Run the Get-VBRHvVssProvider cmdlet. Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $provider variable.
Run the Set-VBRHvServerVolume cmdlet. Set the $volume variable as the Volume parameter value. Set the $provider variable as the VSSProvider parameter value.

Set-VBRHvServerVolume Example 2. Modifying Number of Snapshots

This example shows how to modify volume-specific settings and set a number of snapshots that you can store simultaneously on one volume. Veeam Backup & Replication will store a maximum 3 snapshots on the volume.

$server = Get-VBRServer -Name hyperv09.tech.local

$volume = Get-VBRHvServerVolume -Server $server

Set-VBRHvServerVolume -Volume $volume -MaxSnapshots 3

Perform the following steps:

Get the volume settings:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $server variable.
Run the Get-VBRHvServerVolume cmdlet. Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value. Save the result to the $volume variable.

Run the Set-VBRHvServerVolume cmdlet. Set the $volume variable as the Volume parameter value. Specify the MaxSnapshots parameter value.
