PowerShell • Re: Execute scanbackup specifying all backup data

Hi yusuke, welcome to the forums.

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... an&ver=120

Can I ask if you have reviewed the documentation on this cmdlet? Start-VBRScanBackup begins Scan Backup, which works with entire backups; each restore point defines an "interval" of time the backup has protected; the intent here is that you can scan a backup for signs of malicious activities with Veeam Threat Hunter, YARA Rules, or your own anti-virus.

So to pick specific dates, you'd specify the dates as shown in the cmdlet user guide page. Specific restore points would be done by specifying an interval that includes that restore point; I would fetch the restore point with Get-VBRRestorePoint and use its CreationTime property to define the interval for Start-VBRScanBackup.
