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

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

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Specify 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. Specify the TargetPath parameter value. Provide the All parameter.

Export-VBOLog Example 2: Exporting Logs for Backup Proxy Server for Specific Period

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

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

$datefrom = [datetime]"08/29/2025 10:00 AM"

$dateto = [datetime]"11/15/2025 10:00 AM"

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

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Specify the Id parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Set the start date of the export period in the $datefrom variable and cast the date string to the datetime type.
Set the end date of the export period in the $dateto variable and cast the date string to the datetime type.
Run the Export-VBOLog cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
- Set the $proxy variable as the ServerComponent parameter value.
