Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies settings of scale-out backup repositories.

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.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Repository	Specifies a scale-out repository that you want to modify.	Accepts the VBRScaleOutBackupRepository object. To create this object, run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet and provide the ScaleOut parameter.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)
Name	Specifies a name of a scale-out repository.	String	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
Description	Specifies a description of a scale-out repository.	String	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
PolicyType	Specifies the policy for a scale-out repository: DataLocality - use this policy to store backup files that belong to the same backup chain together. Performance - to store full and incremental backup files to different extents of the scale-out backup repository.	VBRScaleOutBackupRepositoryPolicyType	True	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
Extent	Specifies an array of backup repositories. The cmdlet will add these repositories as extents to a scale-out repository. IMPORTANT! The cmdlet will replace the extents currently added to the scale-out backup repository with this array. To add an extent, specify all currently added extents plus the new one. To remove an extent, specify the currently existing extents except for the extent that you want to remove.	Accepts the following object: GUID String (repository name) CBackupRepository[]. To get this object, run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet.	True	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
UsePerVMBackupFiles	If set to True, the repository will store each VM in the job as a separate backup file. If set to False, each restore point will contain all VMs in the job. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
PerformFullWhenExtentOffline	If set to True, the job will create an active full backup if the extent with the previous backup file is offline. If set to False, the job will fail to create an increment. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
EnableCapacityTier	Enables the capacity tier option. Veeam Backup & Replication will move backup files to the object storage. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
OperationalRestorePeriod	For retention policy. Specifies the number of days to keep backup files on the local repository. When the number of days is passed, Veeam Backup & Replication will move backup files to an object storage. Note: If you select zero days, Veeam Backup & Replication will move all backup files from the local repository to the object storage immediately.	Int	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
EnableOverridePolicy	Enables the option to move backup files from the local repository to an object storage when the capacity reaches limits. If set, this option overrides the retention policy. Veeam Backup & Replication will move backup files to an object storage even if the retention policy value has not reached limits. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
OverrideSpaceThreshold	For the override option. Specifies the capacity value in percent for the override option. Once the value reaches the limit, Veeam Backup & Replication will move the data from the local repository to an object storage.	Int32	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
OffloadWindowOptions	Specifies the time interval, when Veeam Backup & Replication is allowed will move the backup files to an object storage.	Accepts the VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
ObjectStorageRepository	Specifies an object storage. Veeam Backup & Replication will move the backup files to this object storage.	Accepts the VBRObjectStorageRepository object. To create this object, run the Get-VBRObjectStorageRepository cmdlet.	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
EnableEncryption	Enables the encryption option. Veeam Backup & Replication will encrypt backup files before moving them to an object storage. Veeam Backup & Replication will encrypt all backup files from the backup chain, including the metadata. Use the EncryptionKey parameter to specify the encryption key. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EncryptionKey	For the encryption option. Specifies an encryption key. Veeam Backup & Replication will use this key to encrypt the data.	Accepts the VBREncryptionKey object. To get this object, run the Add-VBREncryptionKey cmdlet.	False	Named	False
Force	Defines that the cmdlet will create the scale-out backup repository without showing up the notifications in the PowerShell console.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
PassThru	Defines that the command returns the output object to the Windows PowerShell console. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnableCapacityTierMovePolicy	Defines that the cmdlet will move inactive backup chains to object storage.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnableCapacityTierCopyPolicy	Defines that the cmdlet will copy new backup files to object storage as soon as they are created. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnableArchiveTier	Enables the archive tier option. Veeam Backup & Replication will move backup files to an archive storage. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	True (ByPropertyName)
ArchiveObjectStorageRepository	Specifies an archive storage. Veeam Backup & Replication will move the backup files to this archive storage.	Accepts the VBRArchiveObjectStorageRepository object. To create this object, run the Get-VBRArchiveObjectStorageRepository cmdlet.	False	Named	True (ByPropertyName)
ArchivePeriod	For retention policy. Specifies the number of days to keep backup files on the archive extent. When the number of days is passed, Veeam Backup & Replication will delete outdated backup files.	Int.	False	Named	False
EnableCostOptimizedArchive	Enables the option to archive backup files only if the remaining retention time is above minimal storage period. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnableArchiveFullBackupMode	Enables the option to store archived backups as standalone fulls, without any dependencies on the previous backup files. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnablePluginBackupOffload	Enables offloading of the backup files created with plugin backup jobs to the capacity tier. Default: True. Note: To disable this option, set the parameter value to $false. That is, parameter_name:$false.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnableCopyAllPluginBackups	For backup files created with Veeam Plug-in for SAP HANA, Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN. Enables copying of all backup files from the performance extents to the capacity extent. If you do not provide this parameter, the cmdlet will disable copying of such backup files to the capacity extent. Note: To activate the copy policy, you must provide the EnableCapacityTierCopyPolicy parameter. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EnableCopyAllMachineBackups	For backup files created with Veeam Agent backup jobs and Veeam Backup jobs for VMs. Enables copying of all backup files from the performance extents to the capacity extent. If you do not provide this parameter, the cmdlet will copy only the latest backup files. Note: To activate the copy policy, you must provide the EnableCapacityTierCopyPolicy parameter. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
KMSServer	Specifies the KMS server you want to use to encrypt the data.	Accepts the VBRKMSServer object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRKMSServer cmdlet.	False	Named	False
CapacityTierHealthCheckOptions	Specifies the health check schedule options.	Accepts the VBRHealthCheckOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRHealthCheckOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	False
ForceStrictPlacementPolicy	Defines that the cmdlet will enable strict placement policy. If you provide this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will not create a backup if it violates the backup placement policy and may result in that a backup job will fail. Default: False.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	True (ByPropertyName)

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