Some examples

Do something on every job

$Jobs =  Get-VBRJob | where {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -or $_.JobType -eq "Replica"}
foreach ($Job in $Jobs)
{
  #Take action on a $Job here
}

change block size on every job

$Jobs =  Get-VBRJob | where {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -or $_.JobType -eq "Replica"}
foreach ($Job in $Jobs)
{
  $Options = Get-VBRJobOptions -Job $Job
  $Options.BackupStorageOptions.StgBlockSize  = [Veeam.Backup.Common.EKbBlockSize]::KbBlockSize1024
  $null = Set-VBRJobOptions -Job $job -Options $options
