Short Description
Customizes advanced job storage settings.
Applies to
Platform: VMware, Hyper-V
Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus
Syntax
Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -Job <CBackupJob[]> [-EnableDeduplication [<Boolean>]] [-CompressionLevel <Int32>] [-StorageBlockSize <EKbBlockSize>] [-WarningAction <ActionPreference>] [-WarningVariable <String>][<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.
For more information about job storage settings, see the Storage Settings section of the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide.
To modify settings enter the necessary parameters with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Required | Position | Accept | Accept |
Job | Specifies the array of jobs. The cmdlet will modify advanced storage options of these jobs. | True | Named | True (ByValue, | False |
Enable | 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 |
Compression | Specifies the compression level for the created backup: AUTO _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = -1, NONE _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 0, DEDUPE _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 4, OPTIMAL _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 5, HIGH _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 6, EXTREME _COMPRESSION _LEVEL = 9 Default: OPTIMAL. | False | Named | False | False |
Storage | Specifies the integer defining the data blocks size. Larger sized blocks provide faster procession but lower deduplication level. 0 = KbBlockSize256, 1 = KbBlockSize512, 3 = KbBlockSize1024, 4 = KbBlockSize2048, 5 = KbBlockSize4096, 6 = KbBlockSize8192, 7= Automatic. | False | Named | False | False |
Enable | Indicates if the job must use encryption. Use the EncryptionKey parameter to specify the encryption key. | False | Named | False | False |
Encryption | Used to specify the encryption key for the EnableEncryption parameter. | False | Named | False | False |
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information about common parameters, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216.
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 toto 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.
PS C:\PS> 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.
PS C:\PS> Get-VBRJob | Set-VBRJobAdvancedStorageOptions -CompressionLevel 5 |
