New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration

Short Description

Creates storage volume settings for Google Cloud instances.

Applies to

Platform: VMware, Hyper-V

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

Syntax

New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration -DiskName <string> -DiskType {BalancedPersistent | SSDPersistent | StandardPersistent} [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates the VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration object. This object contains disk types of Google Cloud instances. Veeam Backup & Replication will use the specified type when restoring machines to Google Cloud.

Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
DiskName	Specifies the disk of the source machine. Veeam Backup & Replication will restore this disk to Google Cloud. Note: You must specify the disk name in the "VMNAME.vhdx" format.	String	True	Named	False
DiskType	Specifies the storage volume type. Veeam Backup & Replication will save disks of the restored machine as Google Cloud Engine (GCE) disks. You can select the following types of GCE disks: BalancedPersistent - use this option to create balanced persistent disks. SSDPersistent - use this option to create SSD persistent disks. StandardPersistent - use this option to create standard persistent disks.	Enum	True	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.

Output Object

Examples

Example 1. Defining Storage Volume Settings for Computer

This example shows how to define standard persistent storage volume 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-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration -DiskName $diskNames[0].UniqueId -DiskType StandardPersistent

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-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration cmdlet. Specify the following:

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

Example 2. Defining Storage Volume Settings for Hyper-V VMs

This example shows how to define standard persistent storage volume for a disk of a Microsoft Hyper-V VM.

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

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

$diskConfig = New-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].TargetFilePath -DiskType StandardPersistent

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-VBRAmazonEC2DiskConfiguration cmdlet. Specify the following:

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

Example 3. Defining Storage Volume Settings for Other Workloads

This example shows how to define standard persistent storage volume for for a disk of a workload 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-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration -DiskName $restorePoint.AuxData.Disks[0].FileName -DiskType StandardPersistent

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-VBRGoogleCloudComputeDiskConfiguration cmdlet. Specify the following:

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