## Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates Veeam Agent backup jobs and Veeam Agent backup policies.

To create backup policies, you must specify the protection group with the protected computers that you plan to back up and the target location for storing backups.

To create Veeam Agent backup jobs, you must specify the protection group with the protected computers and the repository for storing backups.

- Run the [`Get-VBRProtectionGroup`](get-vbrprotectiongroup.md) cmdlet to get the protection group.
- Run the [`Get-VBRBackupRepository`](get-vbrbackuprepository.md) cmdlet to get the repository.
- Run the [`New-VBRComputerDestinationOptions`](new-vbrcomputerdestinationoptions.md) cmdlet to specify the target location for storing backups.

To enable guest file indexing and application-aware processing, you must first specify the settings for these options.

- Run the [`New-VBRApplicationProcessingOptions`](new-vbrapplicationprocessingoptions.md) cmdlet to specify application-aware processing settings.
- Run the [`New-VBRComputerIndexingOptions`](new-vbrcomputerindexingoptions.md) cmdlet to specify guest file system indexing settings.
