# Get-VBRLinuxTrustedHostPolicy

## Short Description
Returns the trust policy for protected Linux and Microsoft Windows machines.

**Product Edition**: Community, Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

## Syntax
```
Get-VBRLinuxTrustedHostPolicy [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet returns the trust policy for protected machines.

The trust policy determines which protected computers are allowed to connect to the backup server:

- `All`: with this policy, Veeam Backup & Replication allows all servers added to the protection group and all VMs to connect to the backup server. SSH and deployer certificate fingerprints are added to the Veeam Backup & Replication database and checked every time a machine establishes a connection with the backup server. If the SSH or certificate fingerprints do not match, the connection fails.
- `KnownHosts`: with this policy, only trusted servers and VMs can connect to the backup server.
