## Examples

::: example
### Modifying Oracle Processing Settings for Veeam Agent Backup Job (Windows)

This example shows how to modify Oracle processing settings for a Veeam Agent job that backs up Windows computers. The job will run with the following options:

- Veeam Backup & Replication will trigger the truncation of the logs which are older than 17 hours.
- Veeam Backup & Replication will back up the archived logs every 25 minutes.
- Veeam Backup & Replication will keep the backups of the archived logs the same period as the image-level backups.

```
$oracle = New-VBROracleProcessingOptions -ArchivedLogAction DeleteBySize -ArchiveLogDeletionSize 20
Set-VBROracleProcessingOptions -Options $oracle -ArchivedLogAction DeleteByTime -ArchiveLogDeletionPeriod 17 -ArchiveLogBackupPeriod 25 -ArchiveLogRetainAction WaitForBackupDeletion -EnableArchiveLogBackup
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`New-VBROracleProcessingOptions`](new-vbroracleprocessingoptions.md) cmdlet. Specify the `ArchivedLogAction` and `ArchiveLogDeletionSize` parameter values. Save the result to the `$oracle` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBROracleProcessingOptions` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$oracle` variable as the Options parameter value.
   - Set the `DeleteByTime` option for the `ArchivedLogAction` parameter.
   - Specify the `ArchiveLogDeletionPeriod` parameter value.
   - Specify the `ArchiveLogBackupPeriod` parameter value.
   - Set the `WaitForBackupDeletion` option for the `ArchiveLogRetainAction` parameter.
   - Provide the `EnableArchiveLogBackup` parameter.
