Defining Schedule for MacOS Jobs

This example shows how to define schedule for MacOS jobs. The job will run on Fridays at 7:00 PM. The job is allowed to run only within the backup window from 20:00 to 22:59, Monday to Friday.

$daily = New-VBRDailyOptions -DayOfWeek Friday -Period 7:00

$window = New-VBRBackupWindowOptions -FromDay Monday -ToDay Friday -FromHour 20 -ToHour 22 -Enabled

$macschedule = New-VBRMacScheduleOptions -Type Daily -DailyOptions $daily -EnableBackupTerminationWindow -TerminationWindow $window

Perform the following steps:

Run the New-VBRDailyOptions cmdlet. Specify the DayOfWeek and Period parameter values. Save the result to the $daily variable.
Run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet. Specify the FromDay, ToDay, FromHour and ToHour parameter values. Provide the Enabled parameter. Save the result to the $window variable.
Run the New-VBRMacScheduleOptions cmdlet. Set the Daily value as the Type parameter value. Set the $daily variable as the DailyOptions parameter value. Provide the EnableBackupTerminationWindow parameter. Set the $window variable as the TerminationWindow parameter value. Save the result to the $macschedule variable to be used with other cmdlets.
