# Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval

## Short Description
Returns a time period of checkpoints in the archive tier that are available for synchronization.

## Syntax

This cmdlet provides the following parameter sets:

<ul class="syntax-sets">
  <li>
    <p><code>AllParameterSets (Default)</code></p>

```
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository <VBRScaleOutBackupRepository> [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>Job</code></p>

```
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository <VBRScaleOutBackupRepository> -Job <VBRJob> [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>Backup</code></p>

```
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository <VBRScaleOutBackupRepository> -Backup <CBackup> [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>TenantBackupId</code></p>

```
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository <VBRScaleOutBackupRepository> -TenantBackupId <Guid> [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>TenantId</code></p>

```
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository <VBRScaleOutBackupRepository> -TenantId <Guid> [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
</ul>

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet returns a time period of checkpoints in the archive tier that are available for synchronization. You may want to run this cmdlet before you synchronize the state of backup chains with the state of backup chains on the archive tier for the specific period of time. When you synchronize the state of backup chains with state of backup chains on the archive tier, the state of backup chains on the capacity tier does not change.

Run the [`Sync-VBRSOBREntityState`](sync-vbrsobrentitystate.md) cmdlet to synchronize the state of the backup chains.

::: important

Use this cmdlet only with archive storage that support the immutability option.

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the `VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval` object contains details on a time period of checkpoints in archive tier that are available for synchronization.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Getting Time Period for all Checkpoints Available on Archive Tier

This example shows how to get a time period with contains checkpoints on archive tier that are available for synchronization.

```
$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository $repository
StartDateUtc                                                EndDateUtc
------------                                                ----------
2/20/2020 1:54:26 PM                                        2/20/2020 1:54:26 PM
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackupRepository`](get-vbrbackuprepository.md) cmdlet. Provide the `ScaleOut` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the `Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval` cmdlet. Set the `$repository` variable as the `Repository` parameter value.

   The cmdlet output will contain the following details on the time period for the checkpoints: `StartDateUtc` and `EndDateUtc`.

### Example 2. Getting Time Period of Checkpoints for Specific Job

This example shows how to get a time period that contains checkpoints on archive tier that you can synchronize for the `Backup05` job.

```
$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup05"
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository $repository -Job $job
StartDateUtc                                                EndDateUtc
------------                                                ----------
2/20/2020 1:54:26 PM                                        2/20/2020 1:54:26 PM
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackupRepository`](get-vbrbackuprepository.md) cmdlet. Provide the `ScaleOut` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRJob`](get-vbrjob.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$job` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval` cmdlet. Set the `$repository` variable as the `Repository` parameter value. Set the `$job` variable as the `Job` parameter value.

   The cmdlet output will contain the following details on the time period for the checkpoints: `StartDateUtc` and `EndDateUtc`.

### Example 3. Getting Time Period of Checkpoints for Specific Backup

This example shows how to get a time period that contains details on checkpoints on archive tier that you can synchronize for the `Report05` backup.

```
$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Report05"
Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval -Repository $repository -Backup $backup
StartDateUtc                                                EndDateUtc

```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackupRepository`](get-vbrbackuprepository.md) cmdlet. Provide the `ScaleOut` parameter value. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRArchiveTierSyncInterval` cmdlet. Set the `$repository` variable as the `Repository` parameter value. Set the `$backup` variable as the `Backup` parameter value.

   The cmdlet output will contain the following details on the time period for the checkpoints: `StartDateUtc` and `EndDateUtc`.
