The following sample script will create a simple full server job. You will need to modify this script to fit your environment and configuration.
Be sure and expand your screen wide enough so that lines in the script file do not wrap.
# Sample script to create a simple Double-Take full server job
# Import the Double-Take PowerShell module # This may be \Service\ or \Console\ depending on your installation import-module "C:\Program Files\Vision Solutions\Double-Take\Console\DoubleTake.PowerShell.dll"

If you want to hide your user credentials in your script, use the Windows PowerShell Get-Credential cmdlet. The password will not be visible because Windows stores an encrypted password. See Hiding your password in a PowerShell script for basic details on using this cmdlet. See your Windows PowerShell documentation for detailed instructions.
