## Output Object
This cmdlet returns the `VBRViVirtualDevice[]` object that contains details on virtual disks of VMs from backups.

## Examples

::: example
### 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:

1. Get the restore point:

   1. Run the [`Get-VBRBackup`](get-vbrbackup.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$backup` variable.
   2. Run the [`Get-VBRRestorePoint`](get-vbrrestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Set the `$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.

2. 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`.
