# Export-RubrikVM

## SYNOPSIS

Exports a given snapshot for a VMware VM

## SYNTAX

```
Export-RubrikVM [-id] <String> [-DatastoreId] <String> [-HostID] <String> [[-VMName] <String>]
 [-DisableNetwork] [-RemoveNetworkDevices] [-KeepMACAddresses] [-UnregisterVM] [-PowerOn] [-RecoverTags]
 [[-Server] <String>] [[-api] <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

The Export-RubrikVM cmdlet is used to restore a snapshot from a protected VM, copying all data to a given datastore and running the VM in an existing vSphere environment.

## EXAMPLES

### EXAMPLE 1

```
Export-RubrikVM -id '7acdf6cd-2c9f-4661-bd29-b67d86ace70b' -HostId (Get-RubrikVMwareHost -name esxi01 -PrimaryClusterID local).id -DatastoreId (Get-RubrikVMwareDatastore -name vSAN).id
```

This will mount the snapshot with an id of 7acdf6cd-2c9f-4661-bd29-b67d86ace70b to the specified host and datastore

### EXAMPLE 2

```
Get-RubrikVM 'server01' -PrimaryClusterID local | Get-RubrikSnapshot | Sort-Object -Property Date -Descending | Select -First 1 | Export-RubrikVM -HostId (Get-RubrikVMwareHost -name esxi01 -PrimaryClusterID local).id -DatastoreId (Get-RubrikVMwareDatastore -name vSAN).id
```

This will retreive the latest snapshot from the given VM 'server01' and export to the specified host and datastore.
