    Get-ProtectionJobStartTime [-ProtectionGroup] <ProtectionGroup> [-JobType] <ProtectionJobType> [-Verbose] [-Debug] [-ErrorAction <ActionPreference> ] [-ErrorVariable <String> ] [-OutVariable <String> ] [-OutBuffer <Int32> ]

  3. Use the following syntax to remove the start time for a protection job:
