Reference

Module:: MSOnlineBackup

Sets the retention policy for the backup policy (OBPolicy object).

Syntax

Set-OBRetentionPolicy
   [-Policy] <CBPolicy>
   [-RetentionPolicy] <CBRetentionPolicy>
   [-Confirm]
   [-WhatIf]

Description

The Set-OBRetentionPolicy cmdlet sets the retention policy for the backup policy (OBPolicy object). The allowed retention days for the OBRetentionPolicy object are 7, 15,or 30.

This cmdlet supports WhatIf and Confirm parameters with a medium impact. The medium impact signifies that the cmdlet will not prompt 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. Using -Confirm:$FALSE will override the prompt.

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