`<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 `VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint` object that contains information on tenant data retrieved from archive storage and places them in the capacity extents of scale-out backup repository.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Retrieving Tenant Data from Amazon S3 Glacier Archive Storage

This example shows how to retrieve the `ABC Company` tenant data from Amazon S3 Glacier archive storage with the following settings:

- Data retrieval will take from 3–5 hours.
- The retrieved archive backup files will be available for 14 days.

```
$tenant = Get-VBRCloudTenant -Name "ABC Company"
$restorepoint = Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint -Tenant $tenant -Id "3e57a915-2755-4297-be14-deddb8564ca9"
Publish-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint -RestorePoint $restorepoint -AvailabilityPeriodDays 14 -AmazonS3GlacierRetrievalPolicy Standard -RunAsync
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudTenant`](get-vbrcloudtenant.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$tenant` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint`](get-vbrcloudarchiverestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Set the `$tenant` variable as the `Tenant` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.
3. Run the `Publish-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$restorepoint` variable as the `RestorePoint` parameter value.
   - Specify the `AvailabilityPeriodDays` parameter value.
   - Specify the `AmazonS3GlacierRetrievalPolicy` parameter value.
   - Provide the `RunAsync` parameter.

### Example 2. Retrieving Tenant Data from Azure Archive Storage

This example shows how to retrieve the `ABC Company` tenant data from Azure Archive storage with the following settings:

- Data retrieval will take about an hour.
- The retrieved archive backup files will be available for 7 days.

```
$tenant = Get-VBRCloudTenant -Name "ABC Company"
$restorepoint = Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint -Tenant $tenant -Id "3e57a915-2755-4297-be14-deddb8564ca9"
Publish-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint -RestorePoint $restorepoint -AvailabilityPeriodDays 7 -AzureArchiveRetrievalPolicy StandardPriority -RunAsync
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudTenant`](get-vbrcloudtenant.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$tenant` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint`](get-vbrcloudarchiverestorepoint.md) cmdlet. Set the `$tenant` variable as the `Tenant` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$restorepoint` variable.
3. Run the `Publish-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint` cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$restorepoint` variable as the `RestorePoint` parameter value.
   - Specify the `AvailabilityPeriodDays` parameter value.
   - Specify the `AzureArchiveRetrievalPolicy` parameter value.
   - Provide the `RunAsync` parameter.

::: example
### Example 3. Retrieving Tenant Data from Amazon S3 Glacier Archive Storage for Multiple Restore Points

This example shows how to retrieve several restore points of the `XYZ Company` tenant data from the Amazon S3 Glacier archive storage with the following settings:

- Data retrieval will take from 3–5 hours.
- The retrieved archive backup files will be available for 5 days.

```
Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint
$RPIds = @('2312a0c3-8e9d-48fe-b48e-5a081f1ca525', '9b6bd9c3-f29e-4323-ad85-cbbf9bec2642')
$tenant = Get-VBRCloudTenant -Name "XYZ Company"
foreach ($restorePointId in $RPIds)
{
    $restorepoint = Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint -Tenant $tenant -Id $RPIds
    Publish-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint -RestorePoint $restorepoint -AvailabilityPeriodDays 5 -AmazonS3GlacierRetrievalPolicy Standard -RunAsync
}
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Get a list of all restore points. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint`](get-vbrcloudarchiverestorepoint.md) cmdlet. The cmdlet will return an array of restore points of tenant backups located in the archive tier. Select the necessary restore points from an array of restore points.
2. Define the array of restore points. Specify the necessary restore point IDs. Save the result to the `$restorePointIds` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudTenant`](get-vbrcloudtenant.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$tenant` variable.
4. Run the [`foreach`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_foreach?view=powershell-7.4) loop.

   1. Set the `$restorePointId` as a variable and the `$RPIds` as a collection. With each iteration, the `foreach` statement will set the `$restorePointId` variable to the next value in the `$RPIds` collection.
   2. Specify the [`Get-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint`](get-vbrcloudarchiverestorepoint.md) and `Publish-VBRCloudArchiveRestorePoint` cmdlets. With each iteration, the `foreach` statement will execute these cmdlets.
