Do we have an option to set the file/crash/application consistence backup alert or do we have any PowerShell script to identify the recovery point details.

we can see that backup completed without warning, but vm backup is in file consistency. so for avoid manually checking each backup, do we have any other option for find out or make sure all backups good?

    @Siva Apologies for the delayed response!

    Here is a script which can help you check what was the type of snapshot crash or app 

    $targetVault = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -Name "CentralSQL" -ResourceGroupName "a2ademorecoveryrg" | Set-AzRecoveryServicesVaultContext  
  
$namedContainer = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType "AzureVM" -Status "Registered" -FriendlyName "testformanifest" -VaultId $targetVault.ID  
$backupitem = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $namedContainer -WorkloadType "AzureVM" -VaultId $targetVault.ID  
  
$startDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)  
$endDate = Get-Date  
$rp = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $backupitem -StartDate $startdate.ToUniversalTime() -EndDate $enddate.ToUniversalTime() -VaultId $targetVault.ID  
$rp[0]

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @Siva

    Seems friendly name will be the VM name of all the backup itemps, and hoping the below script works for youe requirement.

    $servers = Get-Content -Path C:\servers.txt
    $output =@()

    foreach($server in $servers){

    $targetVault = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -Name "CentralSQL" -ResourceGroupName "a2ademorecoveryrg" | Set-AzRecoveryServicesVaultContext

    $namedContainer = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType "AzureVM" -Status "Registered" -FriendlyName $server -VaultId $targetVault.ID
    $backupitem = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $namedContainer -WorkloadType "AzureVM" -VaultId $targetVault.ID

    $startDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
    $endDate = Get-Date
    $rp = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $backupitem -StartDate $startdate.ToUniversalTime() -EndDate $enddate.ToUniversalTime() -VaultId $targetVault.ID
    $output += $rp
    }

    $rp | Export-csv "$PSScriptRoot\output.csv" -NoTypeInformation
