```
$tenant = Get-VBRCloudTenant -Name "ABC Company"
$restorepoint = Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint -Tenant $tenant -Id "3e57a915-2755-4297-be14-deddb8564ca9"

```

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudTenant`](get-vbrcloudtenant.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$tenant` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint`](get-vbrcloudarchiverestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Set the `$tenant` variable as the `Tenant` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.
3. Run the `Add-VBRCloudArchiveBackupAvailabilityPeriod` cmdlet. Set the `$restorepoint` variable as the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Specify the `AvailabilityPeriodDays` parameter value.
