# Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob

## Short Description
Modifies a VMware cloud replication job.

**Platform**: VMware

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

## Syntax
```
Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob -Job <CBackupJob> [-Name <String>] [-Entity <IViItem[]>]
 [-Datastore <VBRCloudDatastore>] [-Suffix <String>] [-BackupRepository <CBackupRepository>]
 [-Description <String>] [-EnableNetworkMapping] [-SourceNetwork <VBRViNetworkInfo[]>]
 [-TargetNetwork <VBRCloudServerNetworkInfo[]>] [-SourceProxy <CViProxy[]>] [-UseWANAccelerator]
 [-SourceWANAccelerator <CWanAccelerator>] [-SourceRepository <CBackupRepository[]>]
 [-DiskType <EDiskCreationMode>] [-EnableSeeding] [-RepositorySeed <CBackupRepository>] [-EnableVMMapping]
 [-OriginalVM <CViVmItem[]>] [-ReplicaVM <COib[]>] [-Force] [-HighPriority] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet modifies an existing VMware cloud replication job.

::: note

Consider the following:

- The cmdlet will not run if the geographic location of the VMs added to the job and the target cloud host location do not match. If you still want to run the cmdlet, use the `Force` parameter.
- To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters. After you run this cmdlet, the previous settings will be rewritten with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

### Changing Cloud Datastore for Cloud Replica Job

This example shows how to apply custom settings to the cloud replica job named `Cloud Replica Job`.

```
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Cloud Replica Job"
$cloudServer = Get-VBRCloudServer -Name 104.45.95.227
$NewCloudDatastore = Get-VBRCloudDatastore -CloudServer $cloudServer -Name "CDEDatastore"
Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob -Job $job -Datastore $NewCloudDatastore
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRJob`](get-vbrjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the job to the `$job` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudServer`](get-vbrcloudserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the server to the `$cloudServer` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudDatastore`](get-vbrclouddatastore.md) cmdlet. Set the `$cloudServer` variable as the `CloudServer` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the datastore to the `$NewCloudDatastore` variable.
4. Run the `Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob` cmdlet. Set the `$job` variable as the `Job` parameter value. Set the `$NewCloudDatastore` variable as the `Datastore` parameter value.
