Warning

The AzureRM PowerShell module has been officially deprecated as of February 29, 2024. Users are advised to migrate from AzureRM to the Az PowerShell module to ensure continued support and updates.

Although the AzureRM module may still function, it's no longer maintained or supported, placing any continued use at the user's discretion and risk. Please refer to our migration resources for guidance on transitioning to the Az module.

Syntax

Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRetentionPolicyObject
   [-WorkloadType] <WorkloadType>
   [[-BackupManagementType] <BackupManagementType>]
   [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRetentionPolicyObject cmdlet gets a base AzureRMRecoveryServicesRetentionPolicyObject. This object is not persisted in the system. It is a temporary object that you can manipulate and use with the New-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtectionPolicy cmdlet to create a new backup policy.

Examples

Example 1: Create a backup protection policy

PS C:\>$RetPol = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRetentionPolicyObject -WorkloadType AzureVM 
PS C:\> $RetPol.DailySchedule.DurationCountInDays = 365
PS C:\> $SchPol = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupSchedulePolicyObject -WorkloadType AzureVM 
PS C:\> New-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtectionPolicy -Name "NewPolicy" -WorkloadType AzureVM -RetentionPolicy $RetPol -SchedulePolicy $SchPol

The first command gets the retention policy object, and then stores it in the $RetPol variable. The second command sets the duration for the retention policy object to 365 days. The third command gets the schedule policy object, and then stores it in the $SchPol variable. The last command creates a backup protection policy using the retention policy and schedule policy created with the previous commands.
