Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

  • WBPolicy

    The Set-WBPolicy cmdlet sets a WBPolicy object as the current backup policy to use for scheduled backups.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • None

    None

Notes

Examples

Example 1: Set a backup policy

This example sets a new backup policy.

The first command creates a backup policy object and stores it in the $Policy variable.

PS C:\> $Policy = New-WBPolicy

The second command creates a file specification object and stores the result in the $FileSpec variable. A file specification determines what items to include or exclude from backups.

PS C:\> $FileSpec = New-WBFileSpec -FileSpec C:\dir1

The third command adds a Windows Backup file specification to the backup policy.

PS C:\> Add-WBFileSpec -Policy $Policy -FileSpec $FileSpec

The fourth command adds bare metal recovery to the policy.

PS C:\> Add-WBBareMetalRecovery $Policy

The fifth command gets the Windows Backup disk configuration. This cmdlet gets the list of internal and external disks available for the local computer and stores the resulting list in the $Disks variable.

PS C:\> $Disks = Get-WBDisk

The sixth command creates a backup target object and stores it in the $BackupLocation variable.

PS C:\> $BackupLocation = New-WBBackupTarget -Disk $Disks[2]

The seventh command adds a backup target. The $BackupLocation variable specifies the backup locations in the policy.

PS C:\> Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $Policy -Target $BackupLocation 

The eighth command sets the backup schedule in the policy. The cmdlet sets the times to create daily backups.

PS C:\> Set-WBSchedule -Policy $Policy 09:00

The ninth command sets the backup policy object for the computer.

PS C:\> Set-WBPolicy -Policy $Policy 

Example 2: Set backup policy by using a remote shared file

This example modifies the backup policy for the set WBPolicy object and changes the backup location to a remote file share.

The first command gets the backup policy object and stores it in the $Policy variable.

PS C:\> $Policy = Get-WBPolicy -Editable

The second command creates a backup target object and stores it in the $BackupLocation variable. When you are prompted, specify the credentials to access the remote shared folder and acknowledge the warning about choosing a remote shared folder as a backup storage location.

PS C:\> $BackupLocation = New-WBBackupTarget -NetworkPath \\ContosoSrv\ContosoShared

The third command adds a backup target to the policy. The target is the $BackupLocation variable.

PS C:\> Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $policy -Target $BackupLocation 

The fourth command sets backup policy object from the changes to the $Policy variable.

PS C:\> Set-WBPolicy -Policy $Policy
