Hi,

Need a little help here with Start-VBRLinuxFileRestore. I have a daily backup of /home and backing up to a linux repo. I need to restore a file and i am at lost with the use of the powershell. Here’s my test per line below

 

PS C:\Scripts> $backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "RedhatDirectoryJob"
PS C:\Scripts> $restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup
PS C:\Scripts> $server = Get-VBRServer -Name "192.168.1.200"
PS C:\Scripts> $session = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1

PS C:\Scripts> $root = Get-VBRLinuxGuestItem -LinuxFlrObject $session
Get-VBRLinuxGuestItem : Cannot bind parameter 'LinuxFlrObject'. Cannot convert the "Veeam.Backup.Core.COib" value of type
"Veeam.Backup.Core.COib" to type "Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Infos.VBRLinuxFlrObject".
At line:1 char:47
+ $root = Get-VBRLinuxGuestItem -LinuxFlrObject $session
+                                               ~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-VBRLinuxGuestItem], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Cmdlets.GetVBRLinuxGuestItem

PS C:\Scripts>

Hello @red ,

first of all, you should not share your password here.

 

What exactly is your problem with your code? What is not working? Do you have error messages?

The definition of your session object is incorrect. You should have used the 'Start-VBRLinuxFileRestore'. Check this article for examples:
