VBRGoogleCloudLicenseType

False

Named

False

Reason

Specifies the restore reason.

String

False

Named

False

EnableAntivirusScan

Enables secure restore. If you provide this parameter, Veeam Backup & Replication will trigger the antivirus software to scan selected VMs before the restore.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

EnableYARAScan

Enables the YARA scan for the selected VMs.

Use the YARAScanRule parameter to specify the YARA rule to be used.

Note: This parameter is available starting from Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 (build 12.1.0.2131).

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

YARAScanRule

Specifies the YARA rule. Veeam Backup & Replication will scan VMs with this rule.

Veeam Backup & Replication searches for YARA rules by the following path: C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\YaraRules.

To use the Yara rule, you must specify its name and extension. Veeam Backup & Replication accepts only .yar and .yara extension.

Note: This parameter is available starting from Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1 (build 12.1.0.2131).

String

False

Named

False

EnableEntireVolumeScan

For secure restore.

Enables VMs scan by an antivirus after the first virus threat is found. If you provide this parameter, the cmdlet will generate a report on all virus threats.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

VirusDetectionAction

For secure restore.

Specifies secure restore action when the virus threat is detected.

  • ConnectToIsolatedNetwork - use this option if you want to restore the machine to an isolated Google Cloud network.
  • AbortRecovery - use this option if you want to cancel the restore session.

Enum

False

Named

False

VirusIsolatedSubnet

Specifies the Google Cloud subnet where the restore will be performed if Veeam Backup & Replication detects any virus threats.

Note: This parameter is required if you set the ConnectToIsolatedNetwork option for the VirusDetectionAction parameter value.

Accepts the VBRGoogleCloudComputeSubnet object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRGoogleCloudComputeSubnet cmdlet.

False

Named

False

ProxyAppliance

Specifies the Google Cloud proxy appliance.

Accepts the VBRGoogleCloudComputeProxyAppliance object. To add this object, run the New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeProxyAppliance cmdlet.

False

Named

False

GoogleCloudLabel

Specifies an array of Google Cloud labels. The cmdlet will restore VMs with the specified labels.

Accepts the VBRGoogleCloudComputeLabel object. To add this object, run the New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeLabel cmdlet.

False

Named

False

ShutdownVM

Defines that the cmdlet will power off the restored VM after the restore is complete.

If you do not provide this parameter, the restored VM will remain powered on.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

AllocatePublicIP

Defines that the cmdlet will assign a public IP to the restored VM.

If you do not provide this parameter, the restored VM will remain without the public IP.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

Wait

Defines that the command will wait for the process to complete before accepting more input.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False
