Start-VBOCopyJob

Short Description

Starts backup copy jobs.

Syntax

Start-VBOCopyJob [-TeamsData] [-SharePointData] -Job <VBOCopyJob> [-RunAsync] [-Full] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet allows you to start a backup copy job that is created or stopped.

Run the New-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy cmdlet to set the schedule for the job.

Note

You do not need to manually start a backup copy job with the Full parameter to copy repaired data to a target object storage repository. After Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 backs up the repaired data again, the backup copy job copies this data during its next run.
