Description
The Remove-DPMRecoveryPoint cmdlet removes a recovery point from tape or disk. If a recovery point exists in multiple locations, for example, on disk and tape, or two tapes, use the Get-DPMRecoveryPointLocation cmdlet to get the location of the recovery point.
Examples
Example 1: Remove a recovery point
PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $PObjects = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> $RPoint = Get-DPMRecoveryPoint -Datasource $PObjects
PS C:\> Remove-DPMRecoveryPoint -RecoveryPoint $RPoint
The first command gets the protection group on the DPM server named DPMServer02, and stores the results in the $PGroup variable.
The second command gets the list of protected and unprotected data in the protection group stored in $PGroup. The command stores the results in the $PObject variable.
The third command gets the recovery point for the for the data source stored in $PObjects, and stores the results in the $RPoint variable.
The final command removes the recovery point stored in $RPoint.
