Get-DPMChildDatasource
Returns the protectable file system objects in a data source.
Syntax
Get-DPMChildDatasource
[-ChildDatasource] <ProtectableObject>
[-Inquire]
[-Async]
[[-ProtectionGroup] <ProtectionGroup>]
[-Tag <Object>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Get-DPMChildDatasource cmdlet returns the protectable file system objects, such as folders, that are in a data source, such as a file system volume. You can protect file systems at the child data source level, but you can protect applications only at the data source level.
Examples
Example 1: Get a child data source
PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer07"
PS C:\> $PObjects = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> Get-DPMChildDatasource -ChildDatasource $PObjects[1] -Inquire
The first command gets all protection groups from the DPM server named DPMServer07, and then stores these groups in the $PGroup variable. You cannot edit these protection groups.
The second command gets the data source for the list of protection groups in $PGroup, and then stores this data source in the $PObjects variable.
The final command gets a list of the child data sources from element 1 of the $PObjects array variable. The command uses the Inquire parameter. Therefore, the command queries the protected computer.
Parameters
-Async
Indicates that the command runs asynchronously. When you run a command asynchronously, the command prompt returns immediately even if the job takes an extended time to finish.
