`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the [`VBRNASBackupFLRItem`](vbrnasbackupflritem.md) and `VBRNASBackupFLRFolder` objects that contain settings of guest OS files and folders backed up by file backup jobs.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Getting Objects Within Restore Session

This example shows how to get objects within the specified restore session.

```
$restorepoint = Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint
$session = Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession -RestorePoint $restorepoint[3]
Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint`](get-vbrnasbackuprestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.

   The `Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint` cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (An array starts with 0. In our example, it is the fourth restore point in the array).

2. Run the [`Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](start-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorepoint` as the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Set the `$session` as the `Session` parameter value.

:::

::: example
### Example 2. Getting Objects by Name

This example shows how to get the `Report001.txt` file within the specified restore session.

```
$restorepoint = Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint
$session = Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession -RestorePoint $restorepoint[4]
Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session -Name "Report001.txt"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint`](get-vbrnasbackuprestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.

   The `Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint` cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (in our example, it is the fifth restore point in the array). Note that to count objects of the array you must start with 0.

2. Run the [`Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](start-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorepoint` as the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Set the `$session` as the `Session` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 3. Getting Objects from Specific Folder

This example shows how to get all objects that are located in the the `October Reports` folder.

```
$restorepoint = Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint
$session = Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession -RestorePoint $restorepoint[2]
$folder = Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session -Name "October Reports"
Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session -Folder $folder
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint`](get-vbrnasbackuprestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.

   The `Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint` cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (in our example, it is the third restore point in the array). Note that to count objects of the array you must start with 0.

2. Run the [`Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](start-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorepoint` as the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Set the `$session` as the `Session` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$folder` variable.
4. Run the `Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Set the `$folder` as the `Folder` parameter value. Set the `$session` as the `Session` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 4. Getting All Objects Added to Backed-up Folders

This example shows how to get all objects that are added to the backed-up folders.

```
$restorepoint = Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint
$session = Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession -RestorePoint $restorepoint[5]
Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem -Session $session -Recurse
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint`](get-vbrnasbackuprestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.

   The `Get-VBRNASBackupRestorePoint` cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (in our example, it is the sixth restore point in the array). Note that to count objects of the array you must start with 0.

2. Run the [`Start-VBRNASBackupFLRSession`](start-vbrnasbackupflrsession.md) cmdlet. Set the `$restorepoint` as the `RestorePoint` parameter value. Save the result to the `$session` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRNASBackupFLRItem` cmdlet. Set the `$session` as the `Session` parameter value. Provide the `Recurse` parameter.
