Examples

Example 1: Stop all DPM jobs

This example stops all jobs for a protection group.

The first command uses the Get-DPMProtectionGroup cmdlet to retrieve the protection group, and then stores the result in the variable named $PGroup.

The second command uses the Get-DPMJob cmdlet to retrieve the list of running jobs for the protection group, and then stores the result in the variable named $Job.

The third command uses the Stop-DPMJob cmdlet to stop the currently running jobs stored in the variable $Job.

PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $Job = Get-DPMJob -ProtectionGroup $PGroup -Status InProgress
PS C:\> Stop-DPMJob $Job
