# Breaking Changes

This section contains information on breaking changes in Veeam PowerShell v12. These changes cause Veeam PowerShell v12 to function differently and could affect the client code.

## Backup Copy Job

In this version, you can no longer use the In this version, [`Start-VBRJob`](start-vbrjob.md) to start backup copy jobs. Run the [`Sync-VBRBackupCopyJob`](sync-vbrbackupcopyjob.md) instead.

### Deprecated Cmdlets

The following cmdlets are deprecated in Veeam PowerShell v12. To perform the necessary actions, run new cmdlets instead.
