## Examples

::: example
### Restarting PostgreSQL Export Session

This example shows how to restart a failed export process for a PostgreSQL database.

```
$export = Get-VEPSQLDatabaseExport
Restart-VEPSQLDatabaseExport -Export $export[0]
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEPSQLDatabaseExport`](get-vepsqldatabaseexport.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$export` variable.

   The cmdlet will return an array of PostgreSQL export sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary export session. In this example, it is the first export session in the array.

2. Run the `Restart-VEPSQLDatabaseExport` cmdlet. Set the `$export` variable as the `Export` parameter value and select the necessary export session.
