New-ProtectionGroup
New-ProtectionGroup
Creates a new protection group on the DPM server.
Syntax
New-ProtectionGroup [-DPMServerName] <String> [[-Name] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The New-ProtectionGroup cmdlet creates a new protection group on the specified DPM server.
This is the first step towards creating a new protection group. This cmdlet returns a new protection group object on which you can perform the remaining steps required for creating a protection group. However, the protection group is not actually created until you run the Set-ProtectionGroup cmdlet.
Use the following cmdlets to create a new protection group, using one or more cmdlets from each step:
1. New-ProtectionGroup
2. Add-ChildDatasource, Remove-ChildDatasource, Set-DatasourceProtectionOption, Set-ProtectionJobStartTime
3. Set-ProtectionType
4. Set-ReplicaCreationMethod
5. Set-PolicyObjective, Set-PolicySchedule (Short term)
6. Get-DatasourceDiskAllocation
7. Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation
8. Set-PolicyObjective, Set-PolicySchedule (Long term)
9. Set-TapeBackupOption
10. Set-ProtectionGroup
Depending on your choice in a previous step, some steps might not be applicable. For example, if you set disk-based protection in step 3, steps 8 and 9 are not required.
It is important to remember that the protection group is created only after you run the Set-ProtectionGroup cmdlet, and until then the protection group exists only in the memory.
