Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Options	Specifies optimization settings for plug-in backup copy jobs. The cmdlet will modify these settings.	Accepts the VBRPluginCopyJobStorageOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRPluginCopyJobStorageOptions cmdlet.	True	Named	False
CompressionLevel	Specifies a compression level of backup files created with a plug-in backup copy job. You can specify either of the following compression levels: Auto: use this option to set the same compression level as in the copied backup files. None: use this option if you do not want to enable data compression. Dedupe-friendly: use this option to set a dedupe-friendly compression level. Optimal: use this option to set an optimal compression level. High: use this option to set a high compression level. Extreme: use this option to set an extreme compression level. Default: Auto.	VBRCompressionLevel	False	Named	False
StorageOptimizationType	Specifies the type of storage that you plan to use as a backup target. Automatic: use this option to set the same type of storage as in the copied backup files. LocalTarget: use this option for backup to SAN, DAS or local storage. LocalTargetHugeBackup: use this option for Veeam Agent jobs that can produce backup files larger than 16 TB. LANTarget: use this option for backup to NAS and for onsite backup. WANTarget: use this option if you plan to use WAN for offsite backup. Depending on the selected storage type, the job will use data blocks of different sizes to optimize the size of backup files. Default: LocalTarget.	VBRStorageOptimizationType	False	Named	False
EnableDataDeduplication	Enables the data deduplication option for backup files created with a plug-in backup copy job. If you do not provide this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will not decrease the size of these backup files.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.
