New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration

Short Description

Defines Azure VM disk types.

Applies to

Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

Syntax

This cmdlet provides parameter sets that allow you to:

Define Azure VM disk type using the disk name.

New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskName <String> -DiskType <VBRAzureDiskType> [-Include] [<CommonParameters>]

Define Azure VM disk type using the disk ID.

New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskUid <String> -DiskType <VBRAzureDiskType> [-Include] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates the VBRAzureDiskConfiguration object that defines Azure VM disk types. Veeam Backup & Replication will attach disks of these types to the restored workloads.

For more information on disk types, see Microsoft Docs.

Parameters

Parameters

Examples

Example 1. Defining Azure VM Disk Type for Computer

This example shows how to define the Azure StandardHDD disk type for a computer disk backed-up with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows.

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Windows Servers Backup"

$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1

$diskNames = Get-VBRComputerDisk -RestorePoint $restorePoint

$diskConfig = New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskName $diskNames[0].UniqueId -DiskType StandardHDD -Include

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable.
Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Specify the Backup parameter value.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Sort-Object cmdlet. Set the CreationTime value for the Property parameter. Provide the Descending parameter.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Select-Object cmdlet. Specify the First parameter value. Save the result to the $restorePoint variable.
Run the Get-VBRComputerDisk cmdlet. Set the $restorePoint value for the RestorePoint parameter. Save the result to the $diskNames variable.
Run the New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration cmdlet. Specify the following:

Set the $diskNames[0].UniqueId variable as the DiskName parameter value.
Specify the DiskType and Include parameter values.
Save the result to the $diskConfig variable.

Example 2. Defining Azure VM Disk Type for Hyper-V VMs

This example shows how to define the Azure StandardHDD disk type for disks of Microsoft Hyper-V VMs.

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM Backup Job"

$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1

$diskConfig = New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].TargetFilePath -DiskType StandardHDD -Include

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable.
Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Specify the Backup parameter value.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Sort-Object cmdlet. Set the CreationTime value for the Property parameter. Provide the Descending parameter.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Select-Object cmdlet. Specify the First parameter value. Save the result to the $restorePoint variable.
Run the New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration cmdlet. Specify the following:

Set the $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].TargetFilePath variable as the DiskName parameter value.
Specify the DiskType and Include parameter values.
Save the result to the $diskConfig variable.

Example 3. Defining Azure VM Disk Type for Other Workloads

This example shows how to define the Azure StandardHDD disk type for disks of workloads other than computers backed-up with Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. This example shows how to do it for a VMware vSphere VM.

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "VM Backup Job"

$restorePoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1

$diskConfig = New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].FileName -DiskType StandardHDD -Include

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable.
Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Specify the Backup parameter value.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Sort-Object cmdlet. Set the CreationTime value for the Property parameter. Provide the Descending parameter.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Select-Object cmdlet. Specify the First parameter value. Save the result to the $restorePoint variable.
Run the New-VBRAzureDiskConfiguration cmdlet. Specify the following:

Set the $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].FileName variable as the DiskName parameter value.
Specify the DiskType and Include parameter values.
Save the result to the $diskConfig variable.
