Description

The Resume-DPMBackup cmdlet attempts to resume stalled System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) backup jobs. Specify the backup target type and one of the following backup types:

  • Alert
  • Datasource
  • ProtectionGroup
  • ProductionServer

Examples

Example 1: Resume backing up production servers

PS C:\>$DpmPServer = Get-DPMProductionServer -DPMServerName "DPMServer07"
PS C:\> Resume-DPMBackup -DPMServerName "DPMServer07" -ProductionServer $DpmPServer

The first command uses the Get-DPMProductionServer cmdlet to get the production servers for the DPM server named DPMServer07. The command stores the results in the $DpmPServer variable.

The second command resumes backing up the production servers in $DpmPServer for the DPM server named DPMServer07.
