Examples

Modifying Object Storage Backup Job

This example shows how to modify the object storage to keep data on the WinRepo2075 long-term archive repository.

$job = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupJob -Name "Azure01"

$archiverepo = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "WinRepo2075"

Set-VBRObjectStorageBackupJob -Job $job -LongTermBackupRepository $archiverepo -EnableLongTermRetention -LongTermRetentionType Monthly LongTermRetentionPeriod 3

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $job variable.
  2. Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $archiverepo variable.
  3. Run the Set-VBRObjectStorageBackupJob cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
  • Set the $job variable as the Job parameter value.
  • Set the $archiverepo variable as the LongTermBackupRepository parameter value.
  • Provide the EnableLongTermRetention parameter.
  • Set the Monthly option for the LongTermRetentionType parameter.
  • Specify the LongTermRetentionPeriod parameter value.
