Description
The Add-WBVirtualMachine cmdlet adds a list of virtual machines to a backup policy contained in the specified WBPolicy object.
Examples
Example 1: Add virtual machines to the backup policy
PS C:\> $Policy = Get-WBPolicy
PS C:\> $VirtualMachines = Get-WBVirtualMachine
PS C:\> Add-WBVirtualMachine -Policy $Policy -VirtualMachine $VirtualMachines
This example adds the list of volumes in the $VirtualMachines variable to the WBPolicy object contained in the $Policy variable.
The first command stores the result of the Get-WBPolicy cmdlet in the $Policy variable.
The second command stores the result of the Get-WBVirtualMachine cmdlet in the $VirtualMachines variable.
The third command adds the virtual machines listed in the $VirtualMachines variable to the backup policy in the $Policy variable.
