title: Check backup recovery points via powershell - windows host backed up in an azure recovery vault
body: <p>I would like to check recovery points for an on-premise windows host backed up with the Microsoft Azure Backup Agent.</p>
  
  <p>I can access the Backup Container like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVault -Name vaultname | Set-AzureRmRecoveryServicesVaultContext 
  $ct = Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType Windows -BackupManagementType MARS
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would expect the next steps would be to use </p>
  
  <pre><code>Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem -BackupManagementType MARS .....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then </p>
  
  <pre><code>Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt723305.aspx" rel="nofollow">the documentation</a> for Get-AzureRmRecoveryServicesBackupItem says</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>-BackupManagementType
    Specifies the Backup management type. 
    <strong>Currently, the only supported value is AzureVM</strong>.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So now the question is:</p>
  
  <p>Is there some (other) way to list the recovery points for an on-premise windows host backed up to an azure recovery vault using powershell?</p>
