Syntax

Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget -SecondaryTarget <VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget> [-BackupRepository <CBackupRepository>] [-EnableCustomRetention] [-CustomRetentionType <VBRUnstructuredBackupShortTermRetentionType> {Daily | Monthly}] [-CustomRetentionPeriod <int>] [-UseCustomEncryptionKey] [-CustomEncryptionKey <VBREncryptionKey>] [-EnableBackupWindow] [-BackupWindow <VBRBackupWindowOptions>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies settings of secondary backup repositories. These repositories will keep copies of backup files that were created by file backup jobs and object storage backup jobs.

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
SecondaryTarget	Specifies the secondary backup repository. The cmdlet will modify this repository.	Accepts the VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget object. To create this object, run the New-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget cmdlet.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
BackupRepository	Specifies the backup repository that you want to add as a secondary backup repository to a file backup job or an object storage job.	Accepts the CBackupRepository object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet.	False	Named	False
EnableCustomRetention	Defines that the cmdlet will enable the custom retention policy. If you provide this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will apply this policy for backups located on the secondary backup repository. Otherwise, Veeam Backup & Replication will apply the retention policy of file backup jobs or object storage jobs to the secondary repository.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
CustomRetentionType	Specifies a retention policy for the secondary repository. You can set retention policy to either of the following periods: Daily: use this option if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to apply retention policy daily. Monthly: use this option if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to apply retention policy monthly. Use the ShortTermRetentionPeriod to specify the number of days or months. Note: If you do not specify this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will apply the retention policy of file backup jobs or object storage jobs to the secondary repository.	VBRUnstructuredBackupShortTermRetentionType	False	Named	False
CustomRetentionPeriod	For the ShortTermRetentionType option. Specifies the period of time to keep data on the secondary repository. When this period is passed, Veeam Backup & Replication will move data to the long-term repository.	Int32	False	Named	False
UseCustomEncryptionKey	Defines that the cmdlet will enable the custom encryption key option. If you provide this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will use the encryption key to encrypt data that is stored on the secondary repository. Otherwise, Veeam Backup & Replication will apply an encryption key that is set for file backup jobs or object storage jobs to the secondary repository.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
CustomEncryptionKey	Specifies an encryption key. Veeam Backup & Replication will use this key to encrypt data that is stored on the secondary repository. Note: If you do not specify this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will apply an encryption key that is set for file backup jobs or object storage jobs.	Accepts the VBREncryptionKey object. To get this object, run the Get-VBREncryptionKey cmdlet.	False	Named	False
EnableBackupWindow	Defines that the cmdlet will enable the backup window option. If you provide this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will create copies of backups that were created by file backup jobs or object storage jobs according to these settings. Otherwise, Veeam Backup & Replication will copy data to the repository continuously.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
BackupWindow	Specifies backup window settings. Veeam Backup & Replication will create copies of backups that were created by file backup jobs or object storage jobs according to these settings.	Accepts the VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To get this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	False

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

Output Object

The cmdlet returns the VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget object that contains settings secondary backup repositories.

Examples

Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget Example 1. Enabling Custom Retention Policy

This example shows how to enable custom retention policy for the SecondaryBackupRepository08 secondary backup repository. The custom retention policy will be enabled with the following settings:

Veeam Backup & Replication will apply retention policy daily.
Veeam Backup & Replication will keep data on the secondary repository for 7 days.

$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "SecondaryBackupRepository08"

Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget -SecondaryTarget $repository -EnableCustomRetention -CustomRetentionType Daily -CustomRetentionPeriod 7

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $repository variable.
Run the Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $repository variable as the SecondaryTarget parameter value.
Provide the EnableCustomRetention parameter value.
Set the Daily option for the CustomRetentionType parameter.
Specify the CustomRetentionPeriod parameter value.

Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget Example 2. Enabling Custom Encryption Key

This example shows how to enable custom encryption key for the SecondaryBackupRepository08 secondary backup repository.

$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "SecondaryBackupRepository08"

$key = Get-VBREncryptionKey -Description "KeyForEncryption"

Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget -SecondaryTarget $repository -UseCustomEncryptionKey -CustomEncryptionKey $key

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $repository variable.
Run the Get-VBREncryptionKey cmdlet. Specify the Description parameter value. Save the result to the $key variable.
Run the Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupSecondaryTarget cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $repository as the SecondaryTarget parameter value.
Provide the UseCustomEncryptionKey parameter.
Set the $key variable as the CustomEncryptionKey parameter value.
