Examples

Example 1: Adding Allowed Backup Hours to Backup Window

This example shows how to add allowed backup hours to the backup window of the existing job.

$job = Get-VBOJob -Name "ABC: Sales"

$schedule = $job.SchedulePolicy

$awindow = $schedule.BackupWindowSettings

$newawindow = Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings -Settings $awindow -FromDay Saturday -FromHour 8 -ToDay Saturday -ToHour 17 -Enabled:$true

$newschedule = Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $schedule -BackupWindowEnabled -BackupWindowSettings $newawindow

Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $newschedule

Perform the following steps:

Get the backup window of the existing job:

Run the Get-VBOJob cmdlet to get a backup job whose backup window settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $job variable.
Get the job schedule settings. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the job object saved to the $job variable. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
Get the backup window. Use the BackupWindowSettings property of the schedule policy object saved to the $schedule variable. Save the result to the $awindow variable.

Run the Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings cmdlet with the $awindow variable to modify the backup window settings. Save the result to the $newawindow variable.
Apply the new backup window settings to the backup job schedule:

Run the Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy cmdlet with the $schedule and $newawindow variables to modify the job schedule settings. Save the result to the $newschedule variable.
Run the Set-VBOJob cmdlet with the $job and $newschedule variables.

Example 2: Adding Prohibited Backup Hours to Backup Window

This example shows how to add prohibited backup hours to the backup window of the existing job.

$job = Get-VBOJob -Name "ABC: Sales"

$schedule = $job.SchedulePolicy

$pwindow = $schedule.BackupWindowSettings

$newpwindow = Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings -Settings $pwindow -FromDay Monday -FromHour 12 -ToDay Monday -ToHour 13 -Enabled:$false

$newschedule = Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $schedule -BackupWindowEnabled -BackupWindowSettings $newpwindow

Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $newschedule

Perform the following steps:

Get the backup window of the existing job:

Run the Get-VBOJob cmdlet to get a backup job whose backup window settings you want to modify. Save the result to the $job variable.
Get the job schedule settings. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the job object saved to the $job variable. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
Get the backup window. Use the BackupWindowSettings property of the schedule policy object saved to the $schedule variable. Save the result to the $pwindow variable.

Run the Set-VBOBackupWindowSettings cmdlet with the $pwindow variable to modify the backup window settings. Save the result to the $newpwindow variable.
Apply the new backup window settings to the backup job schedule:

Run the Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy cmdlet with the $schedule and $newpwindow variables to modify the job schedule settings. Save the result to the $newschedule variable.
Run the Set-VBOJob cmdlet with the $job and $newschedule variables.
