Faster whay to read restorepoints

[Erwin Linker]

Hi All,

I'am busy with making a Powershell scripts that reads all the VM's that are in a Job and gets al off the restorepoints from that VM. At this moment is use the following command;

Code: Select all

Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name TestVM 

But the command feels slow, i takes a long time to complete. Is there a way to get the information a bit faster?

Specify the 'Backup' parameter, and your results will be limited to the restore points from a particular backup.

You can get your job, the backups for the job, then the restore points.

Here's a PowerShell trick to speed things up:

Code: Select all

$rps = Get-VBRRestorePoint
$rps | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "TestVM"}

Essentially, you are gathering all Restore Points in one go in the first line. Then, when you want to pull information for a specific VM, you're referencing the already gathered data.
