Example 1

This example shows how to export all logs collected for a backup proxy. The cmdlet will restore logs with the following settings:

Logs will be restored for a backup proxy with the 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012 ID

The cmdlet will restore logs to the C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs folder.

You must perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Set proxy as the Name parameter value. Set 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012 as the ID parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Export-VBOLog cmdlet. Set the $proxy variable as the ServerComponent parameter value. Set C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs as the TargetPath parameter value. Provide the All parameter.

$proxy = Get-VBOServerComponents -Name proxy -ID 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012

Export-VBOLog -ServerComponent $proxy -All -TargetPath "C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs"

Example 2

This example shows how to export logs for a backup proxy for a specific period. The cmdlet will restore logs with the following settings:

Logs will be restored for a backup proxy with the 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012 ID
The restore period of logs is set from 08/29/2017 10:00 AM to 11/15/2017 10:AM
The cmdlet will restore logs to the C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs folder.

You must perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Set proxy as the Name parameter value. Set 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012 as the ID parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Set the start date of the restore period in the $datefrom variable and cast the date string to the datetime type.
Set the end date of the restore period in the $dateto variable and cast the date string to the datetime type.
Run the Export-VBOLog cmdlet. Set the $proxy variable as the ServerComponent parameter value. with the $proxy variable and From and To parameters to export the logs of this proxy to the specified path. Use TargetPath parameter to specify the export destination.

$proxy = Get-VBOServerComponents -Name proxy -ID 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012

$datefrom = [datetime]"08/29/2017 10:00 AM"

$dateto = [datetime]"11/15/2017 10:00 AM"

Export-VBOLog -ServerComponent $proxy -From $datefrom -To $dateto -TargetPath "C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs"

Example 3

This example shows how to export logs of the proxy Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 server component with an ID 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012 that will be gathered for 10 consequently recent days.

Run Get-VBOServerComponents with the Name and an ID parameters to get the proxy. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run Export-VBOLog with the $proxy variable and the DayPeriod parameter to export the logs of this proxy to the specified path. Use TargetPath parameter to specify the export destination.

$proxy = Get-VBOServerComponents -Name proxy -ID 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012

Export-VBOLog -ServerComponent $proxy -DayPeriod 10 -TargetPath "C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs"
