Detailed Description
This cmdlet allows you to create a new replication job.
Replication is a process of copying a VM from its primary location (source host) to a destination location (redundant target host). Veeam Backup & Replication creates an exact copy of a VM (replica), registers it on the target host and maintains it in sync with the original VM.
Note that when you create a replica job, you need to run it manually unless you enable a job schedule.
Run the Start-VBRJob cmdlet to start the created job.
Run the Set-VBRJobSchedule cmdlet to set schedule for the job.
