This cmdlet returns the `VBRSureBackupStartupOptions` object that defines startup settings for VMs that are added to application groups and to jobs that are linked to SureBackup jobs.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Defining Startup Settings for VMs Added to Application Groups

This command specifies startup settings for VMs added to an application group. Veeam Backup & Replication will perform staged restore with the following VM startup settings:

- The period that is required for VMs to boot is set to 200 seconds.
- The timeout required to initialize applications on VMs is set to 150 seconds.
- The amount of memory provided for VMs is set to 80 percent.
- Veeam Backup & Replication will perform heartbeat and ping tests.

```
New-VBRSureBackupStartupOptions -MaximumBootTime 200 -ApplicationInitializationTimeout 150 -AllocatedMemory 80 -EnableVMPingCheck -EnableVMHeartbeatCheck
```

### Example 2. Defining Startup Settings with Disabled Verification Tests for VMs Added to Application Groups

This command specifies the following startup settings for VMs added to an application group. Veeam Backup & Replication will perform staged restore with the following VM startup settings:

- The period that is required for VMs to boot is set to 100 seconds.
- The timeout required to initialize applications on VMs is set to 200 seconds.
- The amount of memory provided for VMs is set to 90 percent.
- Veeam Backup & Replication will perform not heartbeat and ping tests.

```
New-VBRSureBackupStartupOptions -MaximumBootTime 100 -ApplicationInitializationTimeout 200 -AllocatedMemory 90 -EnableVMPingCheck:$False -EnableVMHeartbeatCheck:$False
