Examples

Example 1. Exporting Published Microsoft SQL Database

This example shows how to export a published Microsoft SQL database.

$session = Get-VESQLRestoreSession

$database = Get-VESQLPublishedDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "SQLDatabase"

Export-VESQLPublishedDatabase -Database $database -Path "C:\NewPath\File.bak"

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VESQLRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.

The Get-VESQLRestoreSession cmdlet will return an array of restore sessions. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In our example, it is the first restore session in the array.

  1. Run the Get-VESQLPublishedDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable.
  2. Run the Export-VESQLPublishedDatabase cmdlet. Set the $database as the Database parameter value. Specify the Path parameter value.
