Detailed Description
This cmdlet enables guest file system indexing in the selected job.
Guest file system indexing is cataloging the guest VM files during the backup. Indexing helps you recognize files stored on guest VM. If you backup your VMs without guest file system indexing option, you will not be able to perform guest OS files restore.
You can enable the guest file system indexing settings in case you have these settings set beforehand. Use this cmdlet to enable the indexing option that was disabled with Disable-VBRJobGuestFSIndexing.
You can run this cmdlet with backup and replica jobs including vCloud jobs.
