Platform: VMware, Hyper-V

Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

Syntax

This cmdlet provides parameter sets that allow you to:

Extend immutability period of restore points located in a hardened repository.

Set-VBRImmutabilityLockExpirationDate -RestorePoint <COib[]> -ExpirationDate <datetime> [<CommonParameters>]

Reset immutability period of restore points located in a hardened repository.

Set-VBRImmutabilityLockExpirationDate -RestorePoint <COib[]> -ToOriginal [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies immutability period of restore points located in a hardened repository.

Note

To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters. The cmdlet will overwrite the previous parameter values with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

Important

It is not possible to reduce immutability via PowerShell commands. After you set the value, you can either extend it or reset back to the original value. However, you cannot set it to a smaller value than was originally set.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
RestorePoint	Specifies an array of restore points. The cmdlet will modify immutability period for these restore points.	Accepts the COib[] object. To create this object, run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet.	True	0	True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
ExpirationDate	Specifies a date when Veeam Backup & Replication is allowed to remove restore points from a hardened repository with immutability.	DateTime	True	Named	False
ToOriginal	Defines that the cmdlet will reset the immutability period of restore points to their original value.
