Examples

Copying Linux-Based or Unix-Based Guest OS Files to Target Host

This example shows how to copy files from the UbuntuSrv to the LinSrv07 target machine.

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "UbuntuSrv"

$restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup

$session = Start-VBRLinuxFileRestore -RestorePoint $restorepoint -MountServer $server

$items = Get-VBRLinuxGuestItem -FlrObject $session

$targetserver = Get-VBRServer -Name "LinSrv07"

Copy-VBRLinuxGuestItem -Item $items -FlrObject $session -TargetFolder "/home/pictures" -Server $targetserver

Perform the following steps:

Start the restore session:

Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable
Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Specify the Backup parameter value. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $server variable.

Run the Start-VBRLinuxFileRestore cmdlet. Specify the RestorePoint and MountServer parameter values. Save the result to the $session variable.

Run the Get-VBRLinuxGuestItem cmdlet. Specify the FlrObject parameter value. Save the result to the $items variable.
Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $targetserver variable.

Run the Copy-VBRLinuxGuestItem cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $items variable as the Item parameter value.
Set the $session variable as the FlrObject parameter value.
Specify the TargetFolder parameter value.
Set the $targetserver variable as the Server parameter value.
