### Example 1: Exporting All Logs Collected for Backup Proxy Server

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

- Logs will be exported for a backup proxy server with the ID `06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012`.
- The cmdlet will export logs to the `C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs` folder.

```
$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:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOServerComponents`](get-vboservercomponents.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy` variable.
2. Run the `Export-VBOLog` cmdlet. Set the `$proxy` variable as the `ServerComponent` parameter value. Specify the `TargetPath` parameter value. Provide the `All` parameter.

- The cmdlet will export logs to the `C:\Veeam\Office365\Logs` folder.

```
$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:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOServerComponents`](get-vboservercomponents.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy` variable.
2. Set the start date of the export period in the `$datefrom` variable and cast the date string to the `datetime` type.
3. Set the end date of the export period in the `$dateto` variable and cast the date string to the `datetime` type.
4. Run the `Export-VBOLog` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$proxy` variable as the `ServerComponent` parameter value. 
   - Set the `$datefrom` variable as the `From` parameter value.
   - Set the `$dateto` parameter as the `To` parameter value.
   - Specify the `TargetPath` parameter value.
