::: example
### Disabling General-purpose Backup Proxy

This example shows how to disable a general-purpose backup proxy.

```
$fileproxy = Get-VBRComputerFileProxyServer
Disable-VBRComputerFileProxyServer -Proxy $fileproxy[3]
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRComputerFileProxyServer`](get-vbrcomputerfileproxyserver.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$fileproxy` variable.
2. Run the `Disable-VBRComputerFileProxyServer` cmdlet. Set the `$fileproxy[3]` variable as the `Proxy` parameter value.

   The `Get-VBRComputerFileProxyServer` cmdlet will return an array of backup proxies. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary backup proxy (in our example, it is the fourth backup proxy in the array).
