## Examples

::: example
### Modifying Snapshot Schedule Settings for Application Backup Repository

This example shows how to modify the snapshot creation schedule for the application backup repository named `Oracle FRA Repository`.

```
$repository = Get-VBRApplicationBackupRepository -Name "Oracle FRA Repository"
$options = New-VBRApplicationBackupRepositoryScheduleOptions
Set-VBRApplicationBackupRepository -Repository $repository -ScheduleOptions $options
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRApplicationBackupRepository`](get-vbrapplicationbackuprepository.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the [`New-VBRApplicationBackupRepositoryScheduleOptions`](new-vbrapplicationbackuprepositoryscheduleoptions.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$options` variable.
3. Run the `Set-VBRApplicationBackupRepository` cmdlet. Set the `$repository` variable as the `Repository` parameter value. Set the `$options` variable as the `ScheduleOptions` parameter value.
