"Run the job automatically"

[Phill Rogers]

Hi, I've got a script creating backup jobs with all the options I want but I cannot find how to set the flag which is in the GUI with the text " Run the job automatically".

Note that the $job.EnableScheduler() and $job.DisableScheduler() functions do the equivalent of the GUI right-clicking on a job and toggling the "Disable" tick box. This is not the same.

If I manually set the flag: Select job -> Edit -> Next -> Next -> Next -> Next -> [x] Run the job automatically -> Finish
Then the $job.DisableSheduler() function does the above *AS WELL* as clearing the flag.
But the $job.EnableScheduler() function *ONLY* does the above and does NOT set this flag.

Anyone know how to set this flag from PowerShell?

It is with the scheduling options. You can pick apart this function to use the piece you need > Function for setting backup job options

I thought I posted this yesterday but must have got lost. Anyway ..

Thanks for the code. Yours worked fine so I cut it down to the absolute minimum then compared with mine line by line.
Eventually found that I was missing the ..
$vbrjoboptions.JobOptions.RunManually = $false
.. which I had in earlier versions but must have cut it somewhere in the edit. Doh!

Thanks.
