Edit-ActiveBlockMapping

The Edit-ActiveBlockMapping cmdlet lets you make changes to the Active Block Mapping settings for a specified protected machine.

Usage

The usage for the command is as follows: 

Edit-ActiveBlockMapping -core [host name] -user [user name] -password [password] -protectedserver [name | IP address] -enable | -disable [enable/disable feature] -swapfiles [enable | disable] -subdirectories [enable | disable] -usedefaultsettings [enable | disable]
Command Options

The following table describes the options available for the Edit-ActiveBlockMapping command:

Table 88: Edit-ActiveBlockMapping command options
Option Description 
-?
 Display this help message. 
-core
 Optional. Remote Core host machine IP address (with an optional port number). By default the connection is made to the Core installed on the local machine. 
-user
 Optional. User name for the remote Core host machine. If you specify a user name, you also have to provide a password.

If none are provided, then the logged-on user's credentials will be used. 

-password
 Optional. Password to the remote Core host machine. If you specify a password, you also have to provide a log on.

If none are provided, then the logged-on user's credentials will be used. 

-protectedserver
 Use this option to edit the vCenter or ESXi objects for a specific protected machine. 
-enable
 Optional. The enable option does not change the settings for swap files and exclusion lists; it turns Active Block Mapping on. If swap files are off and the exclusion list is empty, using the enable option alone only ignores the blocks of deleted files. 
-disable
 Optional. The disable option does not change the settings for swap files and exclusion lists; it turns Active Block Mapping off so all blocks are backed up, including swap files and excluded paths. If you call the enable option later, the Core uses the same settings for swap files and exclusion lists. 
-swapfiles
 Optional. 'Enable' and 'disable' values determine whether to block swap files from exclusion. 
-subdirectories
 Optional. 'Enable' and 'disable' values determine whether to exclude child items. 
-usedefaultsettings
Optional. 'Enable' and 'disable' values determine whether to use the parent server settings.
Examples:

Enable Active Block Mapping so that swap files are excluded from backups of machine 10.10.8.150: 

>Edit-ActiveBlockMapping -protectedserver 10.10.8.150 -enable -swapfiles enable

Reverse the previous command so that Active Block Mapping is enabled and swap files are included in backups of machine 10.10.8.150: 

>Edit-ActiveBlockMapping -protectedserver 10.10.8.150 -enable -swapfiles disable

Edit-AzureVirtualStandby

You can use the Edit-AzureVirtualStandby cmdlet to change the parameters of an existing Azure virtual standby continuous export.

-protectedserver
 Protected machine with recovery points that you want to export. 
-volumes
 Optional. List of additional volume names to be exported. If you use the value all or use no value, then all volumes export. Values must be enclosed in double quotes and separated by a space.
