Can you trigger a backup job manually via script?

Question

I'm currently evaluating Backup Exec Trial Verison, and am wondering if there is a way to trigger a backup job via a .bat script or something simliar. I saw a 2012 help article disucssing a command utility for Backup Exec but can't find any recent resources. Anyone know where to find this info? Thanks.

Check out the Backup Exec Command Line Interface (BEMCLI).

Oh I'm a dummy. Thank you for pointing this out.

One more quick question... when running a script such as Get-BEJob -Name "Job" | Start-BEJob how do I use the -Confirm switch to automatically choose "y" in the prompt? I've tried just -Confirm or -Confirm Y but it doesn't take it.

try -Confirm$false

Thanks. Seems -Confirm:$false works!
