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

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will now restart a backup job if it fails.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will now perform 4 attempts to retry a failed job with 1 minute interval.
A backup job will now stop if its processing exceeds the allowed backup window.

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

$schedule = $job.schedulepolicy

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

Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $schedule -BackupWindowEnabled -BackupWindowSettings $bwindow -RetryEnabled -RetryNumber 4 -RetryWaitInterval 1

Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $schedule

Perform the following steps:

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

This example shows how to change the type of a job schedule from Daily to Periodically. A backup job per this schedule will now run every 2 hours.

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

$pschedule = $job.schedulepolicy

Set-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -Policy $pschedule -Type Periodically -PeriodicallyEvery Hours2

Set-VBOJob -Job $job -SchedulePolicy $pschedule

Perform the following steps:

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