Detailed Description

The Set-DPMPolicySchedule cmdlet sets the schedule for protection jobs in System Center 2012 – Data Protection Manager (DPM).

DPM sets default schedules automatically if you specify the protection objective by using the Set-DPMPolicyObjective cmdlet. To change the default schedules, run the Get-DPMPolicySchedule cmdlet followed by the Set-DPMPolicySchedule cmdlet.

This cmdlet includes the following dynamic parameters that you can use to define schedules:

For express full and shadow copy schedule, specify the following parameters, as in the following examples:

[-TimesOfDay] <TimesOfDay> [-DaysOfWeek]<DaysOfWeek>
-TimesOfDay "6:00 AM"
-TimesOfDay "12:00 AM" -DaysOfWeek We,Th

For monthly, half-yearly, and yearly archive schedules, specify the following parameters, as in the following example:

[-StartTime] <StartTime> [-RelativeInterval <RelativeInterval>] [-DaysOfWeek <DaysOfWeek>]
-StartTime "1/1/2003 6:00 AM" -RelativeInterval First -DaysOfWeek Sa

For daily archive schedule, specify the following parameter, as in the following example:

[-TimeOfDay] <TimeOfDay>
-StartTime "6:00 AM"

For quarterly archive schedule, specify the following parameter, as in the following example:

[-StartTime] <StartTime>
-StartTime "1/1/2003 6:00 AM"

Parameters

Examples

Example 1: Create a synchronization schedule for a protection group

The first command gets the protection group from the DPM server named DPMServer02, and then stores the result in the $PGroup variable.

The second command gets the short-term schedule for performing integrity checks from the protection group in $PGroup, and then stores the result in the $ShadowCopysch variable.

The third command sets synchronization to run at 2:00 AM every Monday.

PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $ShadowCopysch = Get-PolicySchedule $PGroup -ShortTerm
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $PGroup -Schedule $ShadowCopysch -DaysOfWeek mo -TimesOfDay 02:00

Example 2: Change a synchronization schedule for a protection group

The first command gets protection groups from the DPM server named ContosoDPM1, and then stores them in the $PGroup variable.

The second command gets the long-term synchronization schedule for the second protection group in $PGroup, and then stores the result in the $Schedule variable.

The third command gets the second protection group in in $PGroup, and then stores the group in the $MPGroup variable. The command gets the protection group in editable format.

The fourth command sets the policy schedule for the third schedule in $Schedule to run at 7:00 PM daily.

The fifth command uses the Set-DPMProtectionGroup cmdlet to save your changes.

PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -dpmservername "ContosoDPM1"
PS C:\> $Schedule = Get-DPMPolicySchedule $PGroup[1] -longterm
PS C:\> $MPGroup = Get-DPMModifiableProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $PGroup[1]
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -Schedule $Schedule[2] -TimeOfDay "07:00 PM"
PS C:\> Set-DPMProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup

Example 3: Schedule an integrity check for a DPM server

The first command gets the protection group from the DPM server named ContosoDPM1, and then stores it in the $PGroup variable.

The second command gets the protection group in $PGroup, and then stores it in the $MPGroup variable in editable format.

The third command schedules a data integrity check to run on the server every Monday at 6:00 PM.

The fourth command uses the Set-DPMProtectionGroup cmdlet save your changes.

PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup "ContosoDPM1"
PS C:\> $MPGroup = Get-DPMModifiableProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -JobType CheckDataIntegrity -DaysOfWeek mo -TimesOfDay 18:00
PS C:\> Set-DPMProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup

Example 4: Create online backup and retention schedules for a protection group

This example creates online backup and retention schedules for a protection group.

The first eight commands set the online policy objective for the protection group from the DPM server named DPMServer02. For more information, see the Set-DPMPolicyObjective cmdlet.

The ninth command gets the online schedules for the protection group stored in $MPGroup, and then stores those schedules in the $OnlineSchedule variable.

The tenth command updates daily backup/retention online schedule.

The eleventh command updates weekly retention online schedule.

The twelfth command updates monthly retention online schedule.

The thirteenth command updates yearly retention online schedule.

PS C:\> $RRList = @()
PS C:\> $RRList += (New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.UI.ObjectModel.OMCommon.RetentionRange -ArgumentList 18, Days)
PS C:\> $RRList += (New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.UI.ObjectModel.OMCommon.RetentionRange -ArgumentList 10, Weeks)
PS C:\> $RRList += (New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.UI.ObjectModel.OMCommon.RetentionRange -ArgumentList 6, Month)
PS C:\> $RRList += (New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.UI.ObjectModel.OMCommon.RetentionRange -ArgumentList 5, Years)
PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $MPGroup = Get-ModifiableProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $PGroup[0]
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicyObjective -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -OnlineRetentionRangeList $RRList
PS C:\> $onlineSch = Get-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -LongTerm Online
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -Schedule $nlineSchedule[0] -TimesOfDay 02:00
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -Schedule $OnlineSchedule[1] -TimesOfDay 02:00 -DaysOfWeek Sa,Su -Interval 1
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -Schedule $OnlineSchedule[2] -TimesOfDay 02:00 -RelativeIntervals First,Third -DaysOfWeek Sa
PS C:\> Set-DPMPolicySchedule -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -Schedule $OnlineSchedule[3] -TimesOfDay 02:00 -DaysOfMonth 2,5,8,9 -Months Jan,Jul
