## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Scheduling Daily Backup Job

This example shows how to schedule the `Backup Job 01` job to run daily at 23:00 on weekdays.

```
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 01" 
Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $job -Daily -At "23:00" -DailyKind Weekdays
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRJob`](get-vbrjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBRJobSchedule` cmdlet. Specify the following settings: 

   - Set the `$job` variable as the `Job` parameter value.
   - Provide the `Daily` parameter.
   - Specify the `At` parameter value.
   - Specify the `DailyKind` parameter value.
