The cmdlet compares only backup files recovered to a certain restore point. You can not compare all versions of backup files. To recover files to a certain restore point, run the Start-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRSession cmdlet and provide the RestorePoint parameter. |
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Type | Required | Position | Accept Pipeline Input |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Item | Specifies an array of backed-up objects that you want to compare with production file share or object storage. | Accepts the VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItem[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItem cmdlet. | True | Named | True (ByPropertyName, ByValue) |
Session | Specifies restore sessions started to recover objects backed-up by file backup jobs and object storage backup jobs. The cmdlet will compare the objects restored within this session with objects on production file share or object storage. | Accepts the VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRSession object. To create this object, run the Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRSession cmdlet. | True | Named | True (ByPropertyName, ByValue) |
RunAsync | Defines that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. | SwitchParameter | True | Named | False |

Examples
Comparing Backed-Up Objects with Objects on Production Object Storage
This example shows how to compare backed-up objects with objects on production object storage.
$restorepoint = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupRestorePoint -ID "51e4eced-3fce-465b-b516-f24cb5a068a4" $session = Start-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRSession -RestorePoint $restorepoint[3] $item = Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItem -Session $session Compare-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItem -Item $item[0,1,4,5] -Session $session |
Perform the following steps:
- Run the Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupRestorePoint cmdlet. Specify the ID parameter value. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
The Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupRestorePoint cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (in our example, it is the fourth restore point in the array).
- Run the Start-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRSession cmdlet. Specify the RestorePoint parameter value. Save the result to the $session variable.
- Run the Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItem cmdlet. Specify the Session parameter value. Save the result to the $item variable.
- Run the Compare-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItem cmdlet. Set the $item[0,1,4,5] variable as the Item parameter value. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value.
