Syntax

Disable-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtection
       [-Item] <ItemBase>
       [-RemoveRecoveryPoints]
       [-Force]
       [-VaultId <String>]
       [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
       [-WhatIf]
       [-Confirm]
       [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Disable-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtection cmdlet disables protection for an Azure Backup-protected item. This cmdlet stops regular scheduled backup of an item. This cmdlet can also delete existing recovery points for the backup item. Set the vault context by using the Set-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVaultContext cmdlet before you use the current cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Disable Backup protection

PS C:\> $Cont = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType AzureVM -Status Registered 
PS C:\> $PI = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $Cont[0] -WorkloadType AzureVM 
PS C:\> Disable-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupProtection -Item $PI[0]

The first command gets an array of backup containers, and then stores it in the $Cont array. The second command gets the Backup item corresponding to the first container item, and then stores it in the $PI variable. The last command disables Backup protection for the item in $PI[0], but retains the data.
