Description

The Set-OBPolicy cmdlet sets the specified OBPolicy object as the backup policy that will be used for scheduled backups.

This cmdlet supports the WhatIf and the Confirm parameters. The cmdlet prompts the user for confirmation by default. The WhatIf parameter gives a verbose description of what the cmdlet does without performing any operation. The Confirm parameter specifies whether the cmdlet should prompt the user. Specify -Confirm:$FALSE to override the prompt.

To use Microsoft Azure Backup cmdlets, the user needs to be an administrator on the protected machine.
