Examples
Getting Details on Virtual Disks
This example shows how to get details on virtual disks of the VM that is backed up by the Winsrv4515 backup job.
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Winsrv4515" $restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup Get-VBRViVirtualDevice -RestorePoint $restorepoint[3] ControllerNumber : 0 Type : SCSI VirtualDeviceNode : 0 VirtualDeviceCapacityGB : 50.00 Name : Winsrv4515.vmdk |
Perform the following steps:
- Get the restore point:
- Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable.
- Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
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 forth restore point in the array).
- Run the Get-VBRViVirtualDevice cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value.
The cmdlet output will contain the following details on VM virtual disks: ControllerNumber, Type, VirtualDeviceNode, VirtualDeviceCapacityGB and Name.
