Azure backup server protected items list using powershell script

Question

Good Morning,

I'm looking for a PowerShell script to get the list of all protected items with all property details like (backup item, item type, protected server, backup management, last recovery point, etc..) in the azure recovery service vault for the azure backup server. I'm using the below cmd but it fetches only the registered backup servers list not all the protected items listed inside them. please can you assist me with this? thanks in advance

$backupServersMARS = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType "Windows" -BackupManagementType MAB -VaultId $RCvault.ID

$backupServersMARS

Hi there,

It seems you have not set the -VaultId parameter correctly to get the expected result.

A container that is registered to an Azure Recovery Services vault can have one or more items that can be protected. For Azure virtual machines, there can be only one backup item in the virtual machine container. Set the vault context by using the -VaultId parameter.
