Syntax

New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions [-PeriodicallyKind <VBRPeriodicallyKinds> {Hours | Minutes | Continuously}] [-FullPeriod <int>] [-PeriodicallySchedule <VBRBackupWindowOptions>] [-HourlyOffset <int>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates an object containing periodical schedule settings. You can use this object to create a discovery schedule for a protection group. Veeam Backup & Replication performs a discovery operation according to this schedule: connects to computers of a selected protection group and gathers information about them.

To create a discovery schedule, run the New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions cmdlet.

Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
PeriodicallyKind	Specifies the type of periodical schedule settings: Hours: Veeam Backup & Replication will perform discovery operations repeatedly in specified number of hours (for example, every 6 hours). Minutes: Veeam Backup & Replication will perform discovery operations repeatedly in specified number of minutes (for example, every 30 minutes). Continuously: Veeam Backup & Replication will discover new computers in a non-stop manner.	VBRPeriodicallyKinds	False	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)
FullPeriod	Specifies the number of hours or minutes for the PeriodicallyKind parameter. Permitted values: For Hours: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24. For Minutes: 1-999.	Int	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
PeriodicallySchedule	Specifies the discovery window. The cmdlet sets the time period within which Veeam Backup & Replication is allowed to perform discovery operations for computers of a protection group.	Accepts the VBRBackupWindowOptions object. To get this object, run the New-VBRBackupWindowOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)
HourlyOffset	Used for adjusting the discover window start time. Specifies the number of minutes (1-59). Discovery operations will start at the hour set in the discovery window plus the indicated period (for example, at 8:30).	Int	False	Named	True (ByProperty Name)

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.

Examples

Example 1. Creating Periodical Schedule Settings

This command creates an object containing periodical schedule settings.

New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions -FullPeriod 12 -PeriodicallyKind Hours

Example 2. Creating Discovery Schedule for Protection Group

This example shows how to create a discovery schedule for a protection group. Per this schedule, Veeam Backup & Replication will perform new computer discovery every 12 hours.

$periodically = New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions -FullPeriod 12 -PeriodicallyKind Hours

New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions -PolicyType Periodically -PeriodicallyOptions $periodically

Perform the following steps:

Run the New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions cmdlet. Set the 12 value as the FullPeriod parameter value. Set the Hours value as the PeriodicallyKind parameter value. Save the result to the $periodically variable.
Run the New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions cmdlet. Set the Periodically option for the PolicyType parameter. Set the $periodically variable as the PeriodicallyOptions parameter value.

Example 3. Applying Discovery Schedule to Protection Group

This example shows how to apply a discovery schedule to a protection group. Per this schedule, Veeam Backup & Replication will perform new computer discovery every 12 hours.

$periodically = New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions -FullPeriod 12 -PeriodicallyKind Hours

$schedule = New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions -PolicyType Periodically -PeriodicallyOptions $periodically

$group = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name "East Computers"

Set-VBRProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $group -ScheduleOptions $schedule

Perform the following steps:

Run the New-VBRPeriodicallyOptions cmdlet. Set the 12 value as the FullPeriod parameter value. Set the Hours value as the PeriodicallyKind parameter value. Save the result to the $periodically variable.
Run the New-VBRProtectionGroupScheduleOptions cmdlet. Set the Periodically option for the PolicyType parameter. Set the $periodically variable as the PeriodicallyOptions parameter value. Save the result to the $schedule variable.
Apply a discovery schedule to a protection group:

Run the Get-VBRProtectionGroup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $group variable.
Run the Set-VBRProtectionGroup cmdlet. Set the $group variable as the ProtectionGroup parameter value. Set the $schedule variable as the ScheduleOptions parameter value.
