powershell - backup every 4 hours
I need to make backups of my system state on my windows 2016 server hyper-v domain controller. The only way for this to work is thru power shell. I am only able to run this for one time. How do I write this t run every 4 hours in PowerShell?
# Runs from PS on DC1
Register-ScheduledJob -Name “System State Backup” -Trigger @{Frequency = “Daily”; At = “2:00”} -ScriptBlock {
# Create new Backup Policy
$Policy = New-WBPolicy
# Add System State to the policy
Add-WBSystemState -Policy $Policy
# Set Backup Location
$BackupLocation = New-WBBackupTarget -VolumePath "\\bugsbunny\svrA"
# Add backup location to policy
Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $Policy -Target $BackupLocation
# Start Backup Using Policy
Start-WBBackup -Policy $Policy
}

If the scheduled job is not working it could be that since your not passing credentials the scheduled job is not able to run.

You could just save the script as a ps1 and schedule it via task scheduler.
