`<CommonParameters>`

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 [`VBOCopyJob`](vbocopyjob.md) object that contains settings for a backup copy job.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1: Modifying Object Storage Repository for Backup Copy Job

This example shows how to change a target object storage repository for the backup copy job created for the backup job with the name *ABC Backup*.

```
$job = Get-VBOJob -Name "ABC Backup"
$copyjob = Get-VBOCopyJob -BackupJob $job
$repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval"
Set-VBOCopyJob -Job $copyjob -Repository $repository
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOJob`](get-vbojob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBOCopyJob`](get-vbocopyjob.md) cmdlet. Set the `$job` variable as the `BackupJob` parameter value. Save the result to the `$copyjob` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
4. Run the `Set-VBOCopyJob` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$copyjob` variable as the `Job` parameter value.
   - Set the `$repository` variable as the `Repository` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 2: Setting New Schedule for Backup Copy Job

This example shows how to set new schedule settings 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 `$copyjob` variable.
2. Run the [`New-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy`](new-vbocopyjobschedulepolicy.md) cmdlet to set the job schedule. Specify the necessary parameters. Save the result to the `$every8hours` variable.
3. Run the `Set-VBOCopyJob` cmdlet. Set the `$copyjob` variable as the `Job` parameter value. Set the `$every8hours` variable as the `SchedulePolicy` parameter value.
