### Revoking Discovered Computer Access to Backup

This example shows how to revoke a discovered computer's access to a backup.

```
$computer = Get-VBRDiscoveredComputer | Where {$_.Name -eq "support.east.local"}
$backup = Get-VBRDiscoveredComputerBackup -Computer $computer
Detach-VBRDiscoveredComputerBackup -Computer $computer -Backup $backup
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRDiscoveredComputer`](get-vbrdiscoveredcomputer.md) cmdlet. Use the `Where-Object` method to get the necessary discovered computer. Save the result to the `$computer` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRDiscoveredComputerBackup`](get-vbrdiscoveredcomputerbackup.md) cmdlet. Set the `$computer` variable as the `Computer` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
3. Run the `Detach-VBRDiscoveredComputerBackup` cmdlet. Set the `$computer` variable as the `Computer` parameter value. Set the `$backup` variable as the `Backup` parameter value.
