    Example

    This command schedules the job named "Backup Job 1" to running every 2 hours.

    • The object with scheduling settings is assigned to the $NewScheduleOption variable. The "OptionsPeriodically" parameter is set to and its value is set to 120 (minutes).
    • The job to apply the schedule is obtained with Get-VBRJob and assigned to the $job variable.
    • The object is then applied to the job by running Set-VBRJobScheduleOptions with these two variables.

    PS C:\PS> $NewScheduleOption = New-VBRJobScheduleOptions

    PS C:\PS> $NewScheduleOption.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled =

    PS C:\PS> $NewScheduleOption.OptionsPeriodically.FullPeriod = 120
