Set-DPMInitialOnlineBackupCreationMethod
    [-ProtectionGroup] <ProtectionGroup>
    [-IBMethod] <InitialOnlineBackupMethodType>
    [[-StagingLocation] <String>]
    [[-AzurePublishSettings] <String>]
    [[-AzureImportJobName] <String>]

Description

The Set-DPMInitialOnlineBackupCreationMethod cmdlet modifies the method of initial online backup. Specify a method for a System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) protection group during creation of that protection group. You can select Network or OfflineBackup as the initial online backup method.

Examples

Example 1: Modify the initial online backup method for a protection group

PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> Set-InitialOnlineBackupCreationMethod -ProtectionGroup $PGroup -IBMethod Network

The first command gets a protection group that has DPM server name DPMServer02, and then stores it in the $PGroup variable.

The second command sets the initial online backup method for the group in $PGroup to be Network.

Example 2: Set the initial online backup method as OfflineBackup for a protection group

PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> Set-InitialOnlineBackupCreationMethod -ProtectionGroup $PGroup -IBMethod OfflineBackup -StagingLocation 'C:\StagingLocation' -AzurePublishSettings 'C:\Files\AzurePublishSettings.publishsettings' -AzureImportJobName 'ImportJobName' -AzureSubscriptionID 7c9e6679-7425-40de-944b-e07fc1f90ae7 -AzureStorageAccount 'AccountName' -AzureStorageContainer 'ContainerName'

The first command gets a protection group that has DPM server name DPMServer02, and then stores it in the $PGroup variable.

The second command sets the initial online backup method for the group stored in $PGroup to be OfflineBackup.
