Getting List of Database Files for Microsoft SQL Server Database

This example shows how to get a list of database files for a database backed up with Veeam Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server.

$session = Get-VESQLPluginRestoreSession

$database = Get-VESQLPluginDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "db1"

$restorepoint = Get-VESQLPluginRestorePoint -Database $database

$dbfiles = Get-VESQLPluginDatabaseFile -RestorePoint $restorepoint

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VESQLPluginRestoreSession 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).
Run the Get-VESQLPluginDatabase cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $database variable.
Run the Get-VESQLPluginRestorePoint cmdlet. Set the $database variable as the Database parameter value. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
Run the Get-VESQLPluginDatabaseFile cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value. Save the result to the $dbfiles variable to use it with other cmdlets.
