Description

The New-DPMRecoveryPoint cmdlet creates a recovery point for a data source. You can create a recovery point for short-term and long-term protection types.

Examples

Example 1: Create a recovery point and run a backup

PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $PObjects = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> New-DPMRecoveryPoint -Datasource $PObjects -Disk -BackupType ExpressFull

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 gets the list of protected and unprotected data in the protection group stored in $PGroup. The command stores the results in the $PObjects variable.

The third command creates a recovery point for the data source stored in $PObjects, and performs an ExpressFull backup.

Example 2: Create a recovery point and synchronize with the data source

PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $PObjects = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> New-DPMRecoveryPoint -Datasource $PObjects -Disk -DiskRecoveryPointOption WithSynchronize

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 gets the list of protected and unprotected data in the protection group stored in $PGroup. The command stores the results in the $PObjects variable.

The third command creates a recovery point for the data source stored in the $PObjects variable, and synchronizes the recovery point with the data source.

Example 3: Create a short-term recovery point on tape

PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $PObjects = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> New-DPMRecoveryPoint -Datasource $PObjects -Tape -ProtectionType ShortTerm

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 gets the list of protected and unprotected data in the protection group stored in $PGroup. The command stores the results in the $PObjects variable.

The third command creates a recovery point on tape for the data source stored in $PObjects, and sets the protection type to short-term.
