## Examples

::: example
### Changing Availability Period for Retrieved Data

This example shows how to change the availability period of the retrieved backed-up data and enable notification by email before the retrieved backed-up data expires.

```
$retrievaljob = Get-VBODataRetrieval -Id 3192dfc9-353f-468f-91b6-c66e5710c63f
Set-VBODataRetrieval -DataRetrieval $retrievaljob -Name "ABC User Mailbox" -AvailabilityPeriodDays 5 -EnableExpirationNotification -ExpirationHoursThreshold 2
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBODataRetrieval`](get-vbodataretrieval.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$retrievaljob` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBODataRetrieval` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$retrievaljob` variable as the `DataRetrieval` parameter value.
   - Specify the `Name` parameter value.
   - Set `5` as the `AvailabilityPeriodDays` parameter value.
   - Specify the `EnableExpirationNotification` parameter value.
   - Set `2` as the `ExpirationHoursThreshold` parameter value.
