# New-VBRLinuxScheduleOptions

## Short Description
Creates the schedule for backup policies for Linux computers.

**Product Edition**: Community, Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

## Syntax
```
New-VBRLinuxScheduleOptions -Type <VBRServerScheduleType> [-DailyOptions <VBRDailyOptions>]
 [-MonthlyOptions <VBRMonthlyOptions>] [-PeriodicallyOptions <VBRPeriodicallyOptions>] [-EnableRetry]
 [-RetryCount <Int32>] [-RetryTimeout <Int32>] [-EnableBackupTerminationWindow]
 [-TerminationWindow <VBRBackupWindowOptions>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates the [`VBRLinuxScheduleOptions`](vbrlinuxscheduleoptions.md) object. This object contains schedule settings for a backup policy that the Veeam Agent backup job applies to Linux computers.

::: note

For Veeam Agent jobs that back up Linux servers use the [`New-VBRServerScheduleOptions`](new-vbrserverscheduleoptions.md) cmdlet.

## Output Object
This cmdlet returns the [`VBRLinuxScheduleOptions`](vbrlinuxscheduleoptions.md) object that contains the schedule for the backup policies for Linux computers.

## Examples

### Creating Monthly Schedule for Veeam Agent Job for Linux Computers

This example shows how to create a monthly schedule for a Veeam Agent job that backs up Linux computers. The job will run monthly at 3:00 AM on the first Sunday. The job is allowed to run only within the backup window from 20:00 to 22:59, Monday to Friday.

```
$monthly = New-VBRMonthlyOptions -Period 3:00 -DayNumberInMonth OnDay -DayOfMonth 20
$window = New-VBRBackupWindowOptions -FromDay Monday -ToDay Friday -FromHour 20 -ToHour 22 -Enabled
New-VBRLinuxScheduleOptions -Type Monthly -EnableRetry -RetryCount 7 -RetryTimeout 15 -MonthlyOptions $monthly -EnableBackupTerminationWindow -TerminationWindow $window
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`New-VBRMonthlyOptions`](new-vbrmonthlyoptions.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Period`, `DayNumberInMonth` and `DayOfMonth` parameter values. Save the result to the `$monthly` variable.
2. Run the [`New-VBRBackupWindowOptions`](new-vbrbackupwindowoptions.md) cmdlet. Specify the `FromDay`, `ToDay`, `FromHour` and `ToHour` parameter values. Provide the `Enabled` parameter. Save the result to the `$window` variable.
3. Run the `New-VBRLinuxScheduleOptions` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `Monthly` option for the `Type` parameter.
   - Provide the `EnableRetry` parameter.
   - Specify the `RetryCount` parameter value.
   - Specify the `RetryTimeout` parameter value.
   - Set the `$monthly` variable as the `MonthlyOptions` parameter value.
   - Provide the `EnableBackupTerminationWindow` parameter.
   - Set the `$window` variable as the `TerminationWindow` parameter value.
