Examples
Example 1: Verify a recovery point
This example verifies a recovery point at a specified location.
The first command uses the Get-ProtectionGroup cmdlet to retrieve the protection group on the DPM server, and then stores the result in the variable named $PGroup.
The second command uses the Get-Datasource cmdlet to retrieve the data source for the protection group, and then stores the result in the variable named $DSource.
The third command uses the Get-RecoveryPoint cmdlet to retrieve the recovery point for the data source, and then stores the result in the variable named $RPoint.
The fourth command uses the Get-RecoveryPointLocation cmdlet to retrieve the recovery point location, and then stores the result in the variable named $RS1.
The fifth command uses the Test-DPMTapeData cmdlet to verify a data set for the second recovery point.
PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $DSource = Get-Datasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> $RPoint = Get-RecoveryPoint -Datasource $DSource
PS C:\> $RS1 = Get-RecoveryPointLocation -RecoveryPoint $RPoint[1]
PS C:\> Test-DPMTapeData -RecoveryPoint $RPoint[1] -RecoveryPointLocation $RS1
