The second command sets the protection type for the protection group in $PGroup to short-term on disk.

PS C:\> $PGroup = New-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> Set-DPMProtectionType -ProtectionGroup $PGroup -ShortTerm Disk

Example 2: Set the protection type to disk to disk to tape

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

The second command sets the protection type for the protection group in $PGroup to disk to disk to tape.

PS C:\> $PGroup = New- DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> Set-DPMProtectionType -ProtectionGroup $PGroup -ShortTerm Disk -LongTerm Tape
