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 attributes of the objects restored within this session with objects on production file share or object storage.

Examples

Comparing Attributes of Backed-Up Objects with Attributes of Objects on Production Object Storage

This example shows how to compare attributes of backed-up objects with attributes of 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-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItemAttributes -Item $item[0,1,4,5] -Session $session

Perform the following steps:

  1. 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).

  1. Run the Start-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRSession cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint[3] variable as the RestorePoint parameter value. Save the result to the $session variable.
  2. Run the Get-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItem cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value. Save the result to the $item variable.
  3. Run the Compare-VBRUnstructuredBackupFLRItemAttributes cmdlet. Set the $item[0,1,4,5] variable as the Item parameter value. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value.
