  • Reference
Module:
DataProtectionManager

Saves all the actions performed on the protection group on the DPM server.

Syntax

Set-DPMProtectionGroup

   [-Async]
   [-TranslateDSList <Datasource[]>]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-DPMProtectionGroup cmdlet saves all the actions that you performed on the protection group on the System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) server.

Until you run the Set-DPMProtectionGroup cmdlet, the actions that you take on a modifiable protection group or a new protection group exist only in the memory. For example, when you create a protection group, use this cmdlet as the final step in the process.

Use the following sequence of steps to modify a protection group:

Get-DPMProtectionGroup

Get-DPMModifiableProtectionGroup

Perform actions on the protection group

Set-DPMProtectionGroup

Examples

Example 1: Save a protection group

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

The first command gets the protection group on the DPM server named DPMServer02, and then stores the results in the $PGroup variable.

The second command saves the protection group in $PGroup.
