Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Credentials	Specifies the user account credentials with local administrator privileges on the VM guest OS. Veeam Backup & Replication will use these credentials to run pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts. By default, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will use the credentials that you specified for the protection group. Note: This option works for Veeam Agent jobs that back up Windows computers only.	`CCredentials`	False	Named	False
Options	Specifies script processing options that you want to modify. Accepts the `VBRScriptProcessingOptions` object. To get this object, run the `New-VBRScriptProcessingOptions` cmdlet.	`VBRScriptProcessingOptions`	True	Named	True (ByValue)
ProcessingAction	Specifies script processing settings. `DisableCompletely`: use this option if you do not want to run scripts. `IgnoreFailures`: use this option if you want to continue the backup process even if script errors occur. `RequireSuccess`: use this option if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to stop the backup process if the script fails. Note: The `IgnoreFailures` option does not work for Veeam Agent backup jobs that back up Linux computers. Use the `RequireSuccess` option to enable script execution for these types of jobs.	`VBRGeneralProcessingAction`	False	Named	False
ScriptPostJobCommand	Specifies a post-freeze script.	`String`	False	Named	False
ScriptPostthawCommand	Specifies the path on your backup server to a local folder with the post-thaw script.	`String`	False	Named	False
