Examples
Example 1: Get a child data source
This example retrieves the child data sources on a protectable computer.
The first command gets all protection groups from the DPM server named DPMServer07 and stores these groups in the $Pg variable. You cannot edit these protection groups.
The second command gets the data source for the list of protection groups in $Pg and stores this data source in the $Ds variable.
The third command gets a list of the child data sources from element 1 of the $Ds array variable. The command uses the Inquire parameter, therefore, the command queries the protected computer.
PS C:\> $Pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer07"
PS C:\>$Ds = Get-Datasource -ProtectionGroup $Pg
PS C:\>Get-DPMChildDatasource -ChildDatasource $Ds[1] -Inquire
