After the official release of Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, we decided to upgrade our backup infrastructure by migrating from DPM 2007 to this new version of "protection" from Microsoft.
The product 'good, but it' s like a wild horse and as such is a bit difficult 'to tame it and make it do what' you want to become a daily challenge. Metaphors aside, I must point out a problem I had when writing a script that changes on the fly the departure time of the tape backup job .
If the DPM 2010 powershell shell type the command
Get-Help Set-PolicyShedule
get a description of the command Set-Policy and a series of examples. The description refers to the ability 'to set the start time of the operation and the scheduled day of the week when the job is run (see figure below), or the option DaysOfWeek
after running the script, get the error: Error modifing
Tape backup schedule time for protection group A parameter can not be found That matches parameter name 'DaysOfWeek'.
error that makes it clear that DaysOfWeek not 'more' option is valid for the cmdlet Set-PolicySchedule DPM in 2010 and that 'instead been superseded by IncludeDaysOfWeek.
