Optionally, you can change compression level and desired retention, disable VMware quiescence, enable encryption or even notification settings:

# Desired compression level (Optional; Possible values: 0 - None, 4 - Dedupe-friendly, 5 - Optimal, 6 - High, 9 - Extreme)

$CompressionLevel = "5"

# Quiesce VM when taking snapshot (Optional; VMware Tools or Hyper-V Integration Components are required for this in the guest OS; Possible values: $True/$False)

$EnableQuiescence = $True

# Protect resulting backup with encryption key (Optional; $True/$False)

$EnableEncryption = $False

# Encryption Key (Optional; path to a secure string)

$EncryptionKey = ""

# Retention settings (Optional; by default, VeeamZIP files are not removed and kept in the specified location for an indefinite period of time.

# Possible values: Never, Tonight, TomorrowNight, In3days, In1Week, In2Weeks, In1Month)

$Retention = "Never"
