### Example 4. Getting File Share by Backup

This example shows how to get the `Fileserv05 (SMB) DB` file shares by the backup that protects them. The cmdlet output will contain settings of these file shares.

```
$nasbackup = Get-VBRNASBackup -Name "Fileserv05 (SMB) DB"
Get-VBRNASServer -Backup $nasbackup
Type                        : SMB
Path                        : \\fileserv05\Documents
AccessCredentials           : fileserv05\Administrator
ProcessingMode              : Direct
StorageSnapshotPath         :
ProxyMode                   : Automatic
SelectedProxyServer         : {}
DirectBackupFailoverEnabled : True
Id                          : a830d2ab-a879-44ed-8107-7e76b8d4b817
CacheRepository             : Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupRepository
BackupIOControlLevel        : Medium
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNASBackup`](get-vbrnasbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$nasbackup` variable.
2. Run the `Get-VBRNASServer` cmdlet. Set the `$nasbackup` variable as the `Backup` parameter value.
