### Modifying Active Data Retrieval Operation

This example shows how to modify the availability period of an active retrieval operation. The new availability period is set to 10 days.

```
$backup = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackup -Name "Compliance Archive"
$retrieval = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupColdStorageRetrieval -Backup $backup
Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupRetrieval -RetrievalOperation $retrieval -AvailabilityPeriodDays 10
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRUnstructuredBackup`](get-vbrunstructuredbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupRetrieval`](get-vbrunstructuredbackupretrieval.md) cmdlet. Set the `$backup` variable as the `Backup` parameter value. Save the result to the `$retrieval` variable.
3. Run the `Set-VBRUnstructuredBackupRetrieval` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$retrieval` variable as the `RetrievalOperation` parameter value.
   - Set the `AvailabilityPeriodDays` parameter value to `10`.
