- Run Get-VBRCredentials to get the credentials to access the Fileserver08. Save the credentials to the $creds variable.
- Run New-VBRFileToTapeObject. Use the $server and the $creds variables to create the object for the job.
- Get the media pool with the Get-VBRTapeMediaPool and save it to the $mediapool variable.
- Run New-VBRMonthlyOptions to create the monthly options object and save it to the $monthlyoptions variable.
- Create the job schedule with New-VBRFileToTapeBackupPolicy. Use the $monthlyoptions. Save the result to the $policy variable.
- Create the tape job. Run Add-VBRFileToTapeJob and use the saved variables.
