Getting Details on Virtual Disks

This example shows how to get details on virtual disks of the VM that is backed up by the Winsrv4515 backup job.

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Winsrv4515"

$restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup

Get-VBRViVirtualDevice -RestorePoint $restorepoint[3]

Perform the following steps:

Get the restore point:
1. Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable.
2. Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Set the $backup variable as the Backup parameter value. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
  The Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Consider that the array numbering starts with 0. In our example, the fourth restore point is used.
Run the Get-VBRViVirtualDevice cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value.
The cmdlet output will contain the following details on VM virtual disks: ControllerNumber, Type, VirtualDeviceNode, VirtualDeviceCapacityGB and Name.
