## Examples

::: example
### Modifying Synthetic Full Backup Schedule

This example shows how to modify synthetic full backup schedule settings. With these settings applied, the Veeam Agent backup job will back up computers on Wednesdays and Fridays.

```
$job = Get-VBRComputerBackupJob -Name "BackupJob"
$newoption = Set-VBRSyntheticFullOptions -Options $job.SyntheticFullOptions -Days Wednesday, Friday
Set-VBRComputerBackupJob -Job $job -SyntheticFullOptions $newoption
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRComputerBackupJob`](get-vbrcomputerbackupjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBRSyntheticFullOptions`  cmdlet. Get the `SyntheticFullOptions` property of the `$job` variable. Set the `Wednesday, Friday` option for the `Days` parameter. Save the result to the `$newoption` variable.
3. Run the [`Set-VBRComputerBackupJob`](set-vbrcomputerbackupjob.md) cmdlet. Set the `$job` variable as the `Job` parameter value. Set the `$newoption` variable as the `SyntheticFullOptions` parameter value.
