New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions - Veeam Backup & Replication Veeam PowerShell Reference

New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions [-PeriodicallyKind <VBRPeriodicallyKinds> {Hours | Minutes | Continuously}] [-FullPeriod <int>] [-PeriodicallySchedule <VBRBackupWindowOptions>] [-HourlyOffset <int>] [<CommonParameters>]

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
PeriodicallyKind	Specifies the type of periodical schedule settings: Hours: Veeam Backup & Replication will perform discovery operations repeatedly in specified number of hours (for example, every 6 hours). Minutes: Veeam Backup & Replication will perform discovery operations repeatedly in specified number of minutes (for example, every 30 minutes). Continuously: Veeam Backup & Replication will discover new computers in a non-stop manner.	VBRPeriodicallyKinds	False	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)
FullPeriod	Specifies the number of hours or minutes for the PeriodicallyKind parameter. Permitted values: For Hours: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. For Minutes: 1-999.	Int	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
PeriodicallySchedule	Specifies the discovery window. The cmdlet sets the time period within which Veeam Backup & Replication is allowed to perform discovery operations for computers of a protection group.	Accepts the VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To get this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
HourlyOffset	Used for adjusting the discover window start time. Specifies the number of minutes (1-59). Discovery operations will start at the hour set in the discovery window plus the indicated period (for example, at 8:30).	Int	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)

This command creates an object containing periodical schedule settings.

New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions -FullPeriod 12 -PeriodicallyKind Hours

This example shows how to create a discovery schedule for a protection group. Per this schedule, Veeam Backup & Replication will perform new computer discovery every 12 hours.

$periodically = New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions -FullPeriod 12 -PeriodicallyKind Hours

New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions -PolicyType Periodically -PeriodicallyOptions $periodically

Perform the following steps:

Run the New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions cmdlet. Set the 12 value as the FullPeriod parameter value. Set the Hours value as the PeriodicallyKind parameter value. Save the result to the $periodically variable.
Run the New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions cmdlet. Set the Periodically option for the PolicyType parameter. Set the $periodically variable as the PeriodicallyOptions parameter value.

This example shows how to apply a discovery schedule to a protection group. Per this schedule, Veeam Backup & Replication will perform new computer discovery every 12 hours.

$periodically = New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions -FullPeriod 12 -PeriodicallyKind Hours

$schedule = New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions -PolicyType Periodically -PeriodicallyOptions $periodically

$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name "East Computers"

Set-VBRProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $group -ScheduleOptions $schedule

Perform the following steps:

Run the New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions cmdlet. Set the 12 value as the FullPeriod parameter value. Set the Hours value as the PeriodicallyKind parameter value. Save the result to the $periodically variable.
Run the New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions cmdlet. Set the Periodically option for the PolicyType parameter. Set the $periodically variable as the PeriodicallyOptions parameter value. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
Apply a discovery schedule to a protection group:

Run the Get-VBRProtectionGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $group variable.
Run the Set-VBRProtectionGroup cmdlet. Set the $group variable as the ProtectionGroup parameter value. Set the $schedule variable as the ScheduleOptions parameter value.
