List backups with the Get-ExchangeBackup cmdlet

To list Microsoft Exchange Server backups, use the Get-ExchangeBackup cmdlet.

Use the Get-ExchangeBackup PowerShell cmdlet with the following syntax to list Microsoft Exchange Server backups on a Protection Storage server: 

[<configuration_object>] | Get-ExchangeBackup -BackupViaBlockBasedBackup -DataDomainHost <DD_hostname> -DataDomainUser <DD_username> -DataDomainHostPath /<DD_storage_path> -ClientName <FQDN_of_Microsoft_Exchange_Server>  [<optional_parameters>]

where:

<configuration_object>

(Optional) Specifies the configuration object that was imported using the Import-ExchangeBackupConfigFile cmdlet.

NOTE For PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance centralized and self-service workflows, run the Import-ExchangeBackupConfigFile cmdlet with the -Restore parameter to import the configuration parameters to the object.
-BackupViaBlockBasedBackup
Specifies to list the block-based backups.
You can use the -BBB or -BlockBasedBackup alias for the -BackupViaBlockBasedBackup parameter.
-ClientName <Microsoft_Exchange_Server_FQDN>
Specifies the FQDN of the stand-alone Microsoft Exchange Server or database availability group instance to use for listing the backup.
You can use the -C or -CN alias for the -ClientName parameter.
-DataDomainHost <DD_hostname>
Specifies the Protection Storage server hostname.
You can use the -S, -SH, -DDHost or -StorageHost alias for the -DataDomainHost parameter.
-DataDomainHostPath /<DD_storage_path>
Specifies the full path to the Protection Storage storage unit to query for the backups. The Protection Storage user must have appropriate access rights to this path.
You can use the -Path, -DevicePath, -StoragePath, -StorageHostPath, or -DataDomainPath alias for the -DataDomainHostPath parameter.
-DataDomainUser <DD_username>
Specifies the Protection Storage username.
Full credentials are retrieved from the lockbox to authenticate with the host. -DDUser, -StorageUser
You can use the -DDUser or -StorageUser alias for the -DataDomainUser parameter.
NOTE

Depending on the number of backups and network performance, the Get-ExchangeBackup cmdlet may require significant time to list the backups.

For the listing of backups, use the Import-ExchangeBackupConfigFile cmdlet only with the -Restore parameter. Listing of backups with Import-ExchangeBackupConfigFIle -Backup produces invalid results.

Due to excessive property length, property values might not be completely visible and shown in the dots after a fixed length. In this case, use the FormatEnumerationLimit and Format-List parameters to increase the property length and to see the full property values.

Formatting the list of backups describes multiple formatting options and filters.

The -ExcludeClientNameResolution parameter, as described in the next topic, is mandatory for IP-less DAG restores with PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance integrated workflows (both self-service and centralized).
