Syntax

Add-VSBViApplicationGroup [-Name <String>] [-VmFromBackup <CViVmItem[]>] [-VmFromReplica <CViVmItem[]>]

[-RestorePoint <COib[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates an application group containing virtual machines that the application server is dependent on.

You can add to the same application groups VMs from backups and VMs from replicas. All VMs from the application group must have at least one valid restore point created by the time the SureBackup job starts.

Note that you can set the order the VMs in the application group will be powered on when the SureBackup job starts. This may be important if any of the applications must be started prior to other. The VMs are powered in the order they were added to the VM object in this cmdlet.

Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Name	Specifies the name you want to assign to the application group.	`String`	False	Named	False
RestorePoint	Specifies the particular restore points of the VMs you want to add to the application group. You can assign multiple restore points to this object. Accepts the `COib[]` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRRestorePoint` cmdlet.	`COib[]`	False	Named	True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
