Enterprise Vault provides a set of PowerShell cmdlets which you can use to set and clear backup mode on the following:
You can run these cmdlets directly in the Enterprise Vault Management Shell, and use them in your backup scripts. For example, use the cmdlets in a pre-backup script to set backup mode on index locations and vault stores before the backup is taken. After the backup has completed, use the cmdlets in a post-backup script to clear backup mode when the backup has completed.
PowerShell opens and loads the Enterprise Vault snap-in which makes the backup mode cmdlets available in the shell.
The Enterprise Vault Management Shell provides the following backup mode cmdlets:
Help is available for all the cmdlets. For example, the following command shows the detailed help for Clear-VaultStoreBackupMode:
Get-Help Clear-VaultStoreBackupMode -detailed
You can also generate PowerShell backup mode commands that are based on the configuration of your environment and ready for use in your backup scripts.
