Description

The Set-DPMGlobalProperty cmdlet sets the global properties for a System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) installation.

Examples

Example 1: Exclude page file VHDs

PS C:\>Set-DPMGlobalProperty -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer" -HyperVPagefileExclusions "*_pagefile.vhd"

This command excludes all protected VHDs with names that include the string _pagefile.vhd on the server named Contoso-DPMServer.

Example 2: Exclude VHDs using wildcard expressions exclusions

PS C:\>Set-DPMGlobalProperty -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer" -HyperVPagefileExclusions "*_pagefile.vhd,*mypgf*.vhd*"

This command excludes VHD files that include the strings mypgf and pagefile.vhd in their names.

Example 3: Remove all VHD exclusions

PS C:\>Set-DPMGlobalProperty -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer" -HyperVPagefileExclusions ""

This command removes all existing exclusions by specifying an empty list for the HyperVPagefileExclusions parameter.

Example 4: Exclude a volume from being available for DPM

PS C:\>Set-DPMGlobalProperty -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer" -DPMStorageVolumeExclusion "F:,C:\MountPoint1"

This command excludes F:\ and C:\MountPoint1 from being available to DPM as a storage volume.
