  • Reference
Module:

Creates a DPM protection group set.

Syntax

New-DPMPGSet
   [[-DPMServerName] <String>]
   [-AllowDifferentRetentionPeriods]
   [-Name] <String>
   [[-PGList] <ProtectionGroup[]>]
   [[-WritePeriodUnit] <TimeUnit>]
   [[-WritePeriodValue] <UInt32>]
   [[-ExpiryToleranceUnit] <TimeUnit>]
   [[-ExpiryToleranceValue] <UInt32>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The New-DPMPGSet cmdlet creates a System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) protection group set. A DPM protection group is a collection of protection groups that you collocate on the same tape.

Examples

Example 1: Create a protection group set

PS C:\>$PGroups = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer07" | where {($_.friendlyname) -match "PG1" -or ($_.friendlyname) -match "PG2"}
PS C:\> New-DPMPGSet -Name "PGSET2" -PGList $PGroups

The first command uses the Get-DPMProtectionGroup cmdlet to get protection groups that have names that contain either PG1 or PG2, and then stores them in the $PGroups variable.

The second command creates a protection set named PGSET2 that contains the protection groups stored in $PGroups.
