## Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates a new backup to tape job or a GFS job. You can target the job to a simple or a GFS media pool.

::: note

Consider the following:

- The cmdlet checks if the data of the VMs added to the job changes its geographic location.
- The cmdlet will not run if the geographic location of the repository where VM backups reside and the target media pool location do not match. If you still want to run the cmdlet, use the `Force` parameter.
- If you choose to archive data from backup repositories, the backup to tape job will process only the backups that were created with backup jobs configured on this Veeam backup server. Imported backups and configuration backups will be skipped from processing.

### Creating Backup to Tape Job with Backup Job as Source

This example shows how to create a backup to tape job for `SQL 1 Backup` source job. The tape job will use the same media pool to back up full and incremental backups.

```
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "SQL 1 Backup"
$mediapool = Get-VBRTapeMediaPool -Name "SQL Backups Media Pool"
$dailyoptions = New-VBRDailyOptions -DayOfWeek Friday -Period 23:00
$scheduleoptions = New-VBRBackupToTapeScheduleOptions -DailyOptions $dailyoptions -Enabled
Add-VBRBackupToTapeJob -Name "SQL to Tape" -Description "SQL archive" -Object $job -FullBackupMediaPool $mediapool -ProcessIncrementalBackup -IncrementalBackupMediaPool $mediapool -ExportDays Monday -ScheduleOptions $scheduleoptions
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRJob`](get-vbrjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRTapeMediaPool`](get-vbrtapemediapool.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$mediapool` variable.
3. Run the [`New-VBRDailyOptions`](new-vbrdailyoptions.md) cmdlet. Set `Friday` as the `DayOfWeek` parameter value and `23:00` as the `Period` parameter value. Save the result to the `$dailyoptions` variable. 
4. Run the [`New-VBRBackupToTapeScheduleOptions`](new-vbrbackuptotapescheduleoptions.md) cmdlet. Set the `$dailyoptions` variable as the `DailyOptions` parameter value. Provide the `Enabled` parameter. Save the result to the `$scheduleoptions` variable.
5. Run the `Add-VBRBackupToTapeJob` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Specify the `Name` and the `Description` parameter value.
   - Set the `$job` variable as the `Object` parameter value.
   - Set the `$mediapool` variable as the `FullBackupMediaPool` and `IncrementalBackupMediaPool` parameters value.
   - Provide the `ProcessIncrementalBackup` parameter.
   - Specify the `ExportDays` parameter value.
   - Set the `$scheduleoptions` variable as the `ScheduleOptions` parameter value.
