# Get-VBRReplica

## Short Description
Returns replica objects of VMs or cloud VMs.

**Platform**: VMware, Hyper-V

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

## Syntax
```
Get-VBRReplica [-Name <String[]>] [-Type <VBRReplicaType>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet returns replica objects of VMs or cloud VMs created by Veeam Backup & Replication.

You can look for all replica objects or for replica objects created by a particular replication job.

With this cmdlet, you can get the replica objects that are managed by your backup console. In case you have removed some replica objects from the Veeam Backup & Replication console, but they remain on disk, you will not be able to get them.

::: tip

Consider the following:

- To get restore points of replicas, use the [`Get-VBRObjectRestorePoint`](get-vbrobjectrestorepoint.md) cmdlet.
- To get information about replicas, use the [`Get-VBRBackupObject`](get-vbrbackupobject.md) cmdlet.
