Example 1

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

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will now restart a backup job if it fails.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 will now perform 4 attempts to retry a failed job with 1 minute interval.
A backup job will now stop if its processing exceeds the allowed backup window.

You will need to perform the following steps:

Run Get-VBOJob to get a backup job whose schedule settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $job variable.
Get the job schedule settings that you want to modify. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the job object saved to the $job variable. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
Run New-VBOBackupWindowSettings to create a backup window within which the backup job is allowed to run. Save the result to the $bwindow variable.
Run Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy with the $schedule and $bwindow variables to modify the job schedule settings.
Run Set-VBOJob with the $job and $schedule variables to apply the schedule with the new settings to a backup job.

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

$schedule = $job.schedulepolicy

$bwindow = New-VBOBackupWindowSettings -FromDay Monday -FromHour 8 -ToDay Sunday -ToHour 17 -Enabled

Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $schedule -BackupWindowEnabled -BackupWindow $bwindow -RetryEnabled -RetryNumber 4 -RetryWaitInterval 1

Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $schedule

Example 2

This example shows how to change the type of a job schedule from daily to periodical. A backup job per this schedule will now run every 2 hours.

You will need to perform the following steps:

Run Get-VBOJob to get a backup job whose schedule settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $job variable.
Get the job schedule settings you want to modify. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the job object saved to the $job variable. Save the result to the $pschedule variable.
Run Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy with the $pschedule variable to modify the job schedule settings.
Run Set-VBOJob with the $job and $pschedule variables to apply the schedule with the new settings to a backup job.

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

$pschedule = $job.schedulepolicy

Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $pschedule -Type Periodically -PeriodicallyEvery Hours2

Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $pschedule

Example 3

This example shows how to change the type of a job schedule from periodical to daily. A backup job per this schedule will now run on workdays at 08:00:00.

You will need to perform the following steps:

Run Get-VBOJob to get a backup job whose schedule settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $job variable.
Get the job schedule settings you want to modify. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the job object saved to the $job variable. Save the result to the $dschedule variable.
Run Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy with the $dschedule variable to modify the job schedule settings.
Run Set-VBOJob with the $job and $dschedule variables to apply the schedule with the new settings to a backup job.

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

$dschedule = $job.schedulepolicy

Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $dschedule -Type Daily -DailyType Workdays -DailyTime 08:00:00

Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $dschedule
