Examples

Example 1: Remove a backup target from a policy

This example removes a backup target from a backup policy.

The first command gets the current backup policies and stores them in the variable named $ContosoBUPolicies10.

The second command gets the backup target for the tenth policy in the $ContosoBUPolicies10 array, and then stores the backup target in the variable named $ContosoBUTarget.

The third command removes the backup target that is stored in $ContosoBUTarget from the policy stored in $ContosoBUPolicies10[9].

PS C:\> $ContosoBUPolicies10 = Get-WSSBackupPolicy
PS C:\> $ContosoBUTarget = Get-WssBackupTarget -BackupPolicy $ContosoBUPolicies10[9]
PS C:\> Remove-WssBackupTarget -BackupPolicy $ContosoBUPolicy10[9] -BackupTarget $ContosoBUTarget
