$job = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name "BackupJob"

$options = New-VBRServerScheduleOptions -Type Daily -DailyOptions $daily

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

$termination = New-VBRBackupWindowOptions -FromDay Friday -FromHour 17 -ToDay Monday -ToHour 8

Set-VBRServerScheduleOptions -Options $options -Type Periodically -PeriodicallyOptions $period -EnableBackupTerminationWindow -TerminationWindow $termination

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRComputerBackupJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $job variable.
Run the New-VBRServerScheduleOptions cmdlet. Set the Daily value as the Type parameter value. Set the $daily variable as the DailyOptions parameter value. Save the result to the $options variable.
Run the New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions cmdlet. Specify the FullPeriod and PeriodicallyKind parameter values. Save the result to the $period variable.
Run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet. Specify the FromDay, FromHour, ToDay and ToHour parameter values. Save the result to the $termination variable.
Run the Set-VBRServerScheduleOptions cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $options variable as the Options parameter value.
