Example 1
This command rescans servers managed by your Veeam console.
PS C:\PS> Rescan-VBREntity -AllHosts |
Example 2
This command rescans a backup repository named "Win2012Repo". The repository is obtained with Get-VBRBackupRepository and piped down.

Example 3
This command rescans the tape server named "srv01.veeam.local". The tape server is obtained with Get-VBRTapeServer and assigned to the 'tapesrv' variable. The Wait parameter is used to prevent the console from taking input until the rescanning ends.

Example 4
This command updates information about the 'Webservices' replica restore points. The replica is obtained with Get-VBRReplica and assigned to the '$webservices' variable.
PS C:\PS> $webservices = Get-VBRReplica -Name "Webservices Replica" PS C:\PS> Rescan-VBREntity -Entity $webservices |
