Get network config of VM in backup

[gekken]

hi, this is probably an easy one

I'm trying to automate some instant VM-recovery stuff. For that process I would like to get the original VM network config, number of vNICs and name. The original vSphere/VM is not available so need to get this info from the backup.

I grab the restorepoint using this command:

$restorepoint = Get-VBRBackup -Name $VBRBackupJob | Get-VBRRestorePoint -name $vm| Sort-Object {$_.creationtime -as [datetime]} | Select -last 1

I then have the restorepoint and can get all kind of info, but I'm not able to find network config

Anyone?

Hi @gekken,

Believe what you need is under the AuxData property of COib objects returned by Get-VBRRestorePoint.

$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name 'name of backup'
$rp = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup
$rp.AuxData

Check the Nics property and other properties under AuxData please.
