How to Configuring the backup schedule for VM using MARS agent with Powershell ?

Question

Below command I am using :

$NewPolicy = New-OBPolicy
$Schedule = New-OBSchedule -DaysOfWeek Saturday, Sunday -TimesOfDay 16:00
$RetentionPolicy = New-OBRetentionPolicy -RetentionDays 7
Set-OBRetentionPolicy -Policy $NewPolicy -RetentionPolicy $RetentionPolicy

But getting error "The term 'Set-OBPolicy' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct
and try again."

Hello @Dnyaneshwar Surywanshi ,
Thanks for your query. The error message indicates the corresponding modules are not installed.

Those PowerShell Cmdlets are available when you install MARS Agent.
Try to download the installer from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/install-mars-agent#download-the-mars-agent

Once MARS Agent gets installed in the default folder on the machine , now open the PowerShell prompt and run the commands.
