Example 1

This example shows how to modify the settings of a backup job:

Select items for the backup job
Change the repository, where Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will store items backups

You will need to perform the following steps:

Run Get-VBOJob to get the backup job you want to change. Save the result to the $job variable.
Run Get-VBORepository to specify the backup repository where Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will store item backups. Save the result to the $repository variable.
Run Get-VBOOrganizationUser to get an organization user. In this case we will use it as an excluded item. Save the result to the $excludedUser variable.
Run New-VBOBackupItem to select the items for the backup job. Save each selected item to a separate variable: $item1, $item2, etc.
Run Set-VBOJob with the $job, $repository and the list of variables that represent items.

PS C:\PS> $job = Get-VBOJob -Name "Critical Backup"

PS C:\PS> $repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "ABC Backup Files"

PS C:\PS> $excludedUser = Get-VBOOrganizationUser -Organization $org -Name "UserAlpha"

PS C:\PS> $item1 = New-VBOBackupItem -Organization $org -Mailbox

PS C:\PS> Set-VBOJob -Job $job -Repository $repository -SelectedItems $item1

Example 2

This example shows how to exclude items from the scope of a backup job that backs up an entire organization.

You will need to perform the following steps:

Run Get-VBOJob to get the backup job you want to change. Save the result to the $job variable.
Run Get-VBORepository to specify the backup repository where Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will store item backups. Save the result to the $repository variable.
Run Get-VBOOrganization to get an organization whose items are backed up by the backup job. Save the result to the $org variable.
Run Get-VBOOrganizationUser to get an organization user. In this case we will use it as an excluded item. Save the result to the $excludedUser variable.
Run Set-VBOJob with the $job, $repository and the list of variables that represent excluded items.

PS C:\PS> $job = Get-VBOJob -Name "Critical Backup"

PS C:\PS> $repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "ABC Backup Files"

PS C:\PS> $org = Get-VBOOrganization -Name "ABC Company"

PS C:\PS> $excludedUser = Get-VBOOrganizationUser -Organization $org -Name "UserAlpha"

PS C:\PS> Set-VBOJob -Job $job -Repository $repository -EntireOrganization -ExcludedItems $excludedUser

Example 3

This example shows how set new schedule settings for the backup job:

The job will run on workdays at 3 PM
The job will be terminated if it runs longer that 10 minutes
Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will not perform retry attempts if the job fails

You will need to perform the following steps:

Run Get-VBOJob to get the backup job that you want to change. Save the result to the $job variable.
Run New-VBOJobSchedulePolicy to set a new backup job schedule. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
Run Set-VBOJob with the $job and $schedule variables.

PS C:\PS> $job = Get-VBOJob -Name "Veeam Backup"

PS C:\PS> $schedule = New-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Type Daily -DailyTime 15:00:00 -DailyType Workdays -TerminationEnabled -TerminationInterval Minutes10 -RetryEnabled:$False

PS C:\PS> Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $schedule
