## Examples

### Exporting Published Oracle Databases

This example shows how to export a published Oracle database as an RMAN backup.

```
$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession
$database = Get-VEORPublishedDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "orcl"
Export-VEORPublishedDatabase -Database $database -Path "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\orcl"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEORRestoreSession`](get-veorrestoresession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

   The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in this example, it is the first restore session in the array).

2. Run the [`Get-VEORPublishedDatabase`](get-veorpublisheddatabase.md) cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$database` variable.
3. Run the `Export-VEORPublishedDatabase` cmdlet. Set the `$database` variable as the `Database` parameter value. Specify the `Path` parameter value.
