    Example 1

    This example shows how to add allowed backup hours to the backup window of the existing job.

    1. Get the backup window of the existing job.
    • Run Get-VBOJob to get a backup job whose backup window settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $job variable.
    • Get the job schedule settings. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the job object saved to the $job variable. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
    • Get the backup window. Use the BackupWindow property of the schedule policy object saved to the $schedule variable. Save the result to the $awindow variable.
    1. Run Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings with the $awindow variable to modify the backup window settings. Save the result to the $newawindow variable.
    2. Apply the new backup window settings to the backup job schedule.
    • Run Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy with the $schedule and $newwidow variables to modify the job schedule settings. Save the result to the $newschedule variable.
    • Run Set-VBOJob with the $job and $newschedule variables.

    $job = Get-VBOJob -Name "ABC: Sales"

    $schedule = $job.SchedulePolicy

    $awindow = $schedule.BackupWindow

    $newawindow = Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings -Settings $awindow -FromDay Saturday -FromHour 8 -ToDay Saturday -ToHour 17 -Enabled

    $newschedule = Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $schedule -BackupWindowEnabled -BackupWindow $newawindow

    Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $newschedule

    Example 2

    This example shows how to add prohibited backup hours to the backup window of the existing job.

    You will need to perform the following steps:

    1. Get the backup window of the existing job.
    • Run Get-VBOJob to get a backup job whose backup window settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $job variable.
    • Get the job schedule settings. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the job object saved to the $job variable. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
    • Get the backup window. Use the BackupWindow property of the schedule policy object saved to the $schedule variable. Save the result to the $pwindow variable.
    1. Run Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings with the $pwindow variable to modify the backup window settings. Save the result to the $newpwindow variable.
    2. Apply the new backup window settings to the backup job schedule.
    • Run Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy with the $schedule and $newpwidow variables to modify the job schedule settings. Save the result to the $newschedule variable.
    • Run Set-VBOJob with the $job and $newschedule variables.

    $job = Get-VBOJob -Name "ABC: Sales"

    $schedule = $job.SchedulePolicy

    $pwindow = $schedule.BackupWindow

    $newpwindow = Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings -Settings $pwindow -FromDay Monday -FromHour 12 -ToDay Monday -ToHour 13 -Enabled
