`` This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the [About Common Parameters](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216) section of Microsoft Learn. ## Output Object The cmdlet returns the [`VBOJobSchedulePolicy`](vbojobschedulepolicy.md) object that contains the backup job schedule settings. ## Examples ::: example ### Example 1: Creating Daily Schedule for Backup Job This example shows how to configure a daily job schedule for a backup job. A job schedule will have the following settings: - A backup job will run everyday at 8 AM. - A backup job will stop if its processing exceeds the allowed backup window. ``` $job = Get-VBOJob -Name "ABC: Sales" $bwindow = New-VBOBackupWindowSettings -FromDay Monday -FromHour 8 -ToDay Sunday -ToHour 17 -Enabled:$true $daily = New-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Type Daily -DailyType Everyday -DailyTime 08:00:00 -BackupWindowSettings $bwindow Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $daily ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Run the [`Get-VBOJob`](get-vbojob.md) cmdlet to get a backup job whose schedule settings you want to configure. Save the result to the `$job` variable. 2. Run the [`New-VBOBackupWindowSettings`](new-vbobackupwindowsettings.md) cmdlet to create a backup window within which the backup job must be completed. Save the result to the `$bwindow` variable. 3. Run the `New-VBOJobSchedulePolicy` cmdlet with the `$bwindow` variable to set the job schedule. Save the result to the `$daily` variable. 4. Run the [`Set-VBOJob`](set-vbojob.md) cmdlet with the `$job` and `$daily` variables to apply new schedule settings to the backup job. ::: ::: example ### Example 2: Creating Periodical Schedule for Backup Job This example shows how to configure a periodical job schedule for a backup job. A job schedule will have the following settings: - A backup job will run every 4 hours. - Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will not restart a backup job if it fails. ``` $job = Get-VBOJob -Name "ABC: Sales" $every4noretry = New-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Type Periodically -PeriodicallyEvery Hours4 -RetryEnabled:$false Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $every4noretry ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Run the [`Get-VBOJob`](get-vbojob.md) cmdlet to get a backup job. Save the result to the `$job` variable. 2. Run the `New-VBOJobSchedulePolicy` cmdlet to set the job schedule. Save the result to the `$every4noretry` variable. 3. Run the [`Set-VBOJob`](set-vbojob.md) cmdlet with the `$job` and `$every4noretry` variables. ::: ## Related Commands - [`Get-VBOJob`](get-vbojob.md) - [`New-VBOBackupWindowSettings`](new-vbobackupwindowsettings.md) - [`Set-VBOJob`](set-vbojob.md)
