Retrieving backup files from Amazon S3 Glacier archive extent

This example shows how to extend the availability of the backup files retrieved from the archive extent of the scale-out backup repository.

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "NEW_YEAR_JOB_2"

$rp = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | sort creation_time | select -First 1

Add-VBRArchiveBackupAvailabilityPeriod -RestorePoint $rp[0] -AvailabilityPeriodDays 2

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable.
  2. Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Set the $backup variable as the Backup parameter value.

The Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (in our example, it is the first restore point in the array).

  1. Run the Add-VBRArchiveBackupAvailabilityPeriod cmdlet. Set the $rp variable as the RestorePoint parameter value. Specify the AvailabilityPeriodDays parameter value.
