Short Description

Customizes advanced job storage settings.

Applies to

Platform: VMware, Hyper-V

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

Syntax

Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -Job <CBackupJob[]> [-EnableDeduplication [<Boolean>]] [-CompressionLevel <Int32>] [-StorageBlockSize <EKbBlockSize>] [-EnableEncryption [<Boolean>]] [-EncryptionKey <PSCryptoKey>][<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet sets storage options for the selected job.

You can enable backup data deduplication and customize data units compression level and size.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input	Accept Wildcard Characters
Job	Specifies the array of jobs. The cmdlet will modify advanced storage options of these jobs.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)	False
EnableDeduplication	Indicates that the job will deduplicate. If set to TRUE, the data will be deduplicated during the backup job run (recommended). Otherwise, no data will be checked for duplication.	False	Named	False	False
CompressionLevel	Specifies the compression level for the created backup: Auto = -1 None = 0 Dedupe-friendly = 4 Optimal = 5 High = 6 Extreme = 9 Default: Optimal.	False	Named	False	False
StorageBlockSize	Specifies the integer defining the data blocks size. Larger sized blocks provide faster procession but lower deduplication level. KbBlockSize256 (former WAN Target) = 0. KbBlockSize512 (former LAN target) = 1. KbBlockSize1024 (former Local Target) = 3. KbBlockSize2048 = 4. KbBlockSize4096 (former Local Target (large blocks))= 5. KbBlockSize8192 = 6. Automatic (Defines the best block size depending on the target type) = 7. Default: KbBlockSize1024.	False	Named	False	False
EnableEncryption	Indicates if the job must use encryption. Use the EncryptionKey parameter to specify the encryption key.	False	Named	False	False
EncryptionKey	Used to specify the encryption key for the EnableEncryption parameter.	False	Named	False	False

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

Example 1

This command edits advanced storage settings for the backup jobs named "Backup Job 01" and "Backup Job 02".

The EnableDeduplication parameter is set to enable data deduplication,
The compression level is set to none (0),
The storage blocks size is set to Automatic.

The jobs are obtained with Get-VBRJob and piped down.

Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 01", "Backup Job 02" | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -EnableDeduplication $True -CompressionLevel 0 -StorageBlockSize 7

Example 2

This command applies the optimal compression level (=5) to all jobs. The jobs are obtained with Get-VBRJob and piped down.

Get-VBRJob | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -CompressionLevel 5
