This script is used for automatic backups of vSphere VM's, using Veeam. You need to run this script on a server that has the Veeam management console (and PoSh module) installed. The script works perfectly with the free version of Veeam B&R.
Start-VeeamZip [-ServerTypes <string[]>] [-Skip <string[]>] [-Destination <string>]
[-KeepBackupsFor <int>] [-Compression <int>] [-DisableQuiesce] We name our VM's with tags first (ex.: WIN - DomainController), so the script will look for the specified tags, but you can also specify exact names here. Wildcard (*) also supported.
Exact name of server(s) to skip.
Destination of the backup. If $Destination = "F:\Backup", then the individual servers will be stored under:
"F:\Backup\27.02.2017\WIN - DomainController\"
This specifies number of days that old backups are kept for. 0 = Keep forever
Valid numbers: 0,4,5,6,9
If set, the VM will be backed up without using the VMware tools quiescence.
