### Getting CVssOptions Object for Backup Job

This example shows how to get the `CVssOptions` object with customized VSS settings for a backup job.

```
$o = New-VBRJobVssOptions -ForJob
$o.Enabled = $true
$o.GuestFSIndexingType = "Everyfolders"
$o.TransactionLogsTruncation = "Always"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the `New-VBRJobVssOptions` cmdlet. Provide the `ForJob` parameter. Save the result to the `$o` variable.
2. Modify the VSS settings. Specify the following settings:

   - Provide the `$true` value for the `Enabled` property of the `$o` variable.
   - Provide the `Everyfolders` value for the `GuestFSIndexingType` property of the `$o` variable.
   - Provide the `Always` value for the `TransactionLogsTruncation` property of the `$o` variable.
