Examples

Example 1: Add a backup target to a scheduled backup policy

The first command gets the current backup policy for the computer and stores it in the variable named $ContosoBUPolicy213.

The second command creates a new backup target from the volume on drive F: and stores it in the variable named $ContosoBUTarget05.

The third command adds the backup target that is stored in $ContosoBUTarget05 to the backup policy that is stored in $ContosoBUPolicy213.

PS C:\> $ContosoBUPolicy213 = Get-WssBackupPolicy
PS C:\> $ContosoBUTarget05 = New-WBBackupTarget –VolumePath "F:\"
PS C:\> Add-WssBackupTarget -BackupPolicy $ContosoBUPolicy213 -BackupTarget $ContosoBUTarget05
