Test-DPMTapeData
Verifies a data set for a recovery point.
Syntax
Test-DPMTapeData
[-RecoveryPoint] <RecoverySource>
[-RecoveryPointLocation <RecoverySourceLocation>]
[-JobStateChangedEventHandler <JobStateChangedEventHandler>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Test-DPMTapeData cmdlet verifies a data set for a recovery point in System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM). A recovery point is a point-in-time copy of a replica stored on a DPM server.
Examples
Example 1: Verify a recovery point
PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $PObject = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> $RPoints = Get-DPMRecoveryPoint -Datasource $PObject
PS C:\> $RPLocation = Get-DPMRecoveryPointLocation -RecoveryPoint $RPoints[1]
PS C:\> Test-DPMTapeData -RecoveryPoint $RPoints[1] -RecoveryPointLocation $RPLocation
The first command uses the Get-DPMProtectionGroup cmdlet to retrieve the protection group on the DPM server. The command stores the result in the $PGroup variable.
The second command uses the Get-DPMDatasource cmdlet to retrieve the data source for the protection group. The command stores the result in the variable named $PObject.
The third command uses the Get-DPMRecoveryPoint cmdlet to retrieve recovery points for the data source. The command stores the result in the variable named $RPoints.
The fourth command uses the Get-DPMRecoveryPointLocation cmdlet to retrieve the recovery point location for a point in $RPoints. The command stores the result in the variable named $RPLocation.
The final command uses the Test-DPMTapeData cmdlet to verify a data set for the second recovery point.
Parameters
-JobStateChangedEventHandler
Specifies an event handler for Job.StateChanged events. Use this parameter to build a graphical user interface based on cmdlets. Do not use this parameter in the DPM Management Shell.
Type: | JobStateChangedEventHandler |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-RecoveryPoint
Specifies the recovery point for which this cmdlet verifies a data set.
Type: | RecoverySource |
Position: | 1 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | True |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-RecoveryPointLocation
Specifies the location of a recovery point that this cmdlet tests. To obtain a recovery point location object, use the Get-DPMRecoveryPointLocation cmdlet. A recovery item may exist in more than one location for the same point in time, such as on a disk and tape, or on two separate tapes.
Type: | RecoverySourceLocation |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
