[Powershell] On-demand backup scheduling

[LeeMackie]

Can anyone advise if there is a way to create and/or set backup jobs to not have the Run Automatically scheduling enabled?

I have tested creating jobs with the -SchedulePolicy setting, and have also tested setting a schedule without the -EnabledSchedule switch and both result in the Run Automatically checkbox set in the backup job and the Daily - 9:00AM schedule being configured.

Hi Lee

I checked in in my lab. Looks like the -EnabledSchedule is missing an option to provide a $False parameter.
And if not provided, it's still sets the Scheduled to enabled. This behavior is different as documented in the user guide.
Let me discuss it with the team.

Best,
Fabian

Thanks Fabian, I honestly thought I was going crazy that it wasn't working as designed

I'll await your further response.

You‘re welcome.

While I wait for confirmation from our QA team, you could try to disable the scheduler over our RestAPI.
Those endpoints can be called by powershell commands:

Create a Job:

Update a Job:

Hi Lee

Please try:

Code: Select all

New-VBOJobSchedulePolicy -EnableSchedule:$false

We will update the user guide to make it more clear.

Best,
Fabian

Thanks Fabian - confirmed this works correctly.
