V6 Where to set full settings in powershell pack

[jkcouch]

Looking for a place to set full schedule in v6 powershell pack. I see where i can enable it, but i am unable to define the scheduling params.

For instance, its currently set to enable fulls, but it defaults to weekly. I want to set it to monthly and roll through my jobs and stagger the full days based on a spreadsheet or an auto generated hash table or someting i put together.

Any suggestions?

This should be enough to get you started and if you need any help just post back

Code: Select all

PS C:\> $job = Get-VBRJob -Name "VC Backup"
PS C:\> $schopt = $job | Get-VBRJobScheduleOptions
PS C:\> $jobopt = $job | Get-VBRJobOptions
PS C:\> $jobopt.BackupTargetOptions

Algorithm
FullBackupScheduleKind
FullBackupDays
FullBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions
TransformFullToSyntethic
TransformIncrementsToSyntethic
TransformToSyntethicDays

PS C:\> $schopt

Thanks Thomas!

In case someone else needs a way to schedule fulls this is the simple/slow way of doing it.

Below is my awful attempt at a CSV format on the forms. Just create a csv with the following columns. Fill in the table.

Code: Select all

JobName	ScheduleKind	DayOfWeek	DayNumberInMonth
Job01	Monthly		Monday		First
Job02	Monthly		Tuesday		First

The script:

Code: Select all

$Path = "\\Server\Path\FullSchedule.csv"

$Scheduletable = Import-Csv $Path

foreach ($Schedule in $Scheduletable){
# Set Job Properties
	$job = Get-VBRJob -Name $Schedule.JobName
	$JobOptions = $job | Get-VBRJobOptions
	$JobOptions.BackupTargetOptions.FullBackupScheduleKind = $Schedule.ScheduleKind
	$JobOptions.BackupTargetOptions.FullBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions.DayOfWeek = $Schedule.DayOfWeek
	$JobOptions.BackupTargetOptions.FullBackupMonthlyScheduleOptions.DayNumberInMonth = $Schedule.DayNumberInMonth
	Set-VBRJobOptions -Job $job -Options $joboptions
	}
		

You have a Merry Christmas as well! Thanks again for the pointer. Sometimes these things are burried in places that are not logical to me.
