Examples

Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy Example 1. Changing Backup Copy Job Schedule Type to Immediate

This example shows how to modify the settings of a backup copy job schedule:

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will now run a backup copy job immediately.
A backup copy job will now stop if its processing exceeds the allowed backup window.

$copyjob = Get-VBOCopyJob -Id 8b6b539e-15cc-4ed6-bd1d-b8c7c918f413

$schedule = $copyjob.schedulepolicy

$bwindow = New-VBOBackupWindowSettings -FromDay Monday -FromHour 8 -ToDay Sunday -ToHour 17 -Enabled:$true

Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $schedule -Type Immediate -EnableBackupWindow -BackupWindowSettings $bwindow

Set-VBOCopyJob -Job $copyjob -SchedulePolicy $schedule

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOCopyJob cmdlet to get a backup copy job whose schedule settings you want to modify. Specify the Id parameter value. Save the result to the $copyjob variable.
Get the job schedule settings that you want to modify. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the VBOCopyJob object saved to the $copyjob variable. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
Run the New-VBOBackupWindowSettings cmdlet to create a backup window within which the backup copy job is allowed to run. Save the result to the $bwindow variable.
Run the Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy cmdlet with the $schedule and $bwindow variables to modify the backup copy job schedule settings.
Run the Set-VBOCopyJob cmdlet with the $copyjob and $schedule variables to apply the schedule with the new settings to the backup copy job.

Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy Example 2. Changing Backup Copy Job Schedule Type from Daily to Periodically

This example shows how to change the type of a backup copy job schedule from Daily to Periodically. A backup copy job per this schedule will now run every 4 hours.

$copyjob = Get-VBOCopyJob -Id 8b6b539e-15cc-4ed6-bd1d-b8c7c918f413

$pschedule = $copyjob.schedulepolicy

Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $pschedule -Type Periodically -PeriodicallyEvery Hours4

Set-VBOCopyJob -Job $copyjob -SchedulePolicy $pschedule

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOCopyJob cmdlet to get a backup copy job whose schedule settings you want to modify. Specify the Id parameter value. Save the result to the $copyjob variable.
Get the job schedule settings that you want to modify. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the VBOCopyJob object saved to the $copyjob variable. Save the result to the $pschedule variable.
Run the Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy cmdlet with the $pschedule variable to modify the backup copy job schedule settings.
Run the Set-VBOCopyJob cmdlet with the $copyjob and $pschedule variables to apply the schedule with the new settings to the backup copy job.

Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy Example 3. Changing Backup Copy Job Schedule Type from Periodically to Daily

This example shows how to change the type of a backup copy job schedule from Periodically to Daily. A backup copy job per this schedule will now run on workdays at 10:00:00.

$copyjob = Get-VBOCopyJob -Id 8b6b539e-15cc-4ed6-bd1d-b8c7c918f413

$dschedule = $copyjob.schedulepolicy

Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $dschedule -Type Daily -DailyType Workdays -DailyTime 10:00:00

Set-VBOCopyJob -Job $copyjob -SchedulePolicy $dschedule

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOCopyJob cmdlet to get a backup copy job whose schedule settings you want to modify. Specify the Id parameter value. Save the result to the $copyjob variable.
Get the job schedule settings that you want to modify. Use the SchedulePolicy property of the VBOCopyJob object saved to the $copyjob variable. Save the result to the $dschedule variable.
Run the Set-VBOCopyJobSchedulePolicy cmdlet with the $dschedule variable to modify the backup copy job schedule settings.
