`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the `VBRRecoveryPointObjective` object that contains settings for backup copy interval of backup copy jobs.

## Examples

::: example
### Modifying Backup Copy Interval

This example shows how to modify the backup copy interval. The backup copy job will run every five hours.

```
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "EC2 BCJ 01"
$interval = Get-VBRRecoveryPointObjective -Job $job
$newinterval = Set-VBRRecoveryPointObjective -RecoveryPointObjective $interval -Value 5 -Unit Hour
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRJob`](get-vbrjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRRecoveryPointObjective`](get-vbrrecoverypointobjective.md) cmdlet. Set the `$job` variable as the `Job` parameter value. Save the result to the `$interval` variable.
3. Run the `Set-VBRRecoveryPointObjective` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$interval` variable as the `RecoveryPointObjective` parameter value.
   - Specify the `Value` parameter value.
   - Set the `Hour` value for the `Unit` parameter.

   Save the result to the `$newinterval` variable to apply the settings to the backup copy job.
