## Examples

::: example
### Example 1: Creating Daily Schedule for Backup Copy Job

This example shows how to configure a daily job schedule for a backup copy job. A backup copy job schedule will have the following settings:

- A backup copy job will run everyday at 10 AM.
- A backup copy job will stop if its processing exceeds the allowed backup window.

```
$copyjob = Get-VBOCopyJob -Id 8b6b539e-15cc-4ed6-bd1d-b8c7c918f413
$bwindow = New-VBOBackupWindowSettings -FromDay Monday -FromHour 8 -ToDay Sunday -ToHour 17 -Enabled:$true
$daily = New-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy -Type Daily -DailyType Everyday -DailyTime 10:00:00 -BackupWindowSettings $bwindow
Set-VBOCopyJob -Job $copyjob -SchedulePolicy $daily
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOCopyJob`](get-vbocopyjob.md) cmdlet to get a backup copy job whose schedule settings you want to configure. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$copyjob` variable.
2. Run the [`New-VBOBackupWindowSettings`](new-vbobackupwindowsettings.md) cmdlet to create a backup window within which the backup copy job must be completed. Save the result to the `$bwindow` variable.
3. Run the `New-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy` cmdlet with the `$bwindow` variable to set the job schedule. Save the result to the `$daily` variable.
4. Run the [`Set-VBOCopyJob`](set-vbocopyjob.md) cmdlet with the `$copyjob` and `$daily` variables to apply the schedule settings to the backup copy job.

::: example
### Example 2: Creating Periodical Schedule for Backup Copy Job

This example shows how to configure a periodical job schedule for a backup copy job. A backup copy job will run every 8 hours.

```
$copyjob = Get-VBOCopyJob -Id 8b6b539e-15cc-4ed6-bd1d-b8c7c918f413
$every8hours = New-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy -Type Periodically -PeriodicallyEvery Hours8
Set-VBOCopyJob -Job $copyjob -SchedulePolicy $every8hours
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOCopyJob`](get-vbocopyjob.md) cmdlet to get a backup copy job whose schedule settings you want to configure. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$copyjob` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy` cmdlet to set the job schedule. Save the result to the `$every8hours` variable.
3. Run the [`Set-VBOCopyJob`](set-vbocopyjob.md) cmdlet with the `$copyjob` and `$every8hours` variables to apply the schedule settings to the backup copy job.
