Getting restore points out of Azure can be like getting blood from a stone. The portal likes to always set a custom filter showing only ~90 days and your Powershell cmdlet only allows for a 30 day interval for retrieval dates. When running ‘Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint’ you get the following:

Sigh.. I just want all my restore points for a virtual machine please! All of them, because its my butt if for some reason I don’t have them. Using something like this can be useful to audit your backups against business needs for data retention.

Example: Get recovery points from the last two years for a single VM

# ------Variables--------------#
$retentionDays = 730
$vaultName = "PROD-RSV"
$vaultResourceGroup = "PROD-RSV-RG"
$friendlyName = "Server1"
#------------------------------#


$vault = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -ResourceGroupName $vaultResourceGroup -Name $vaultName 
$Container = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupContainer -ContainerType AzureVM -Status Registered -FriendlyName $friendlyName -VaultId $vault.ID
$BackupItem = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -Container $Container -WorkloadType AzureVM -VaultId $vault.ID

$startingPoint = -25
$finishingPoint = 0
$jobsArray = @()

Do {

$StartDate = (Get-Date).AddDays($startingPoint)
$EndDate = (Get-Date).AddDays($finishingPoint)
$RP = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupRecoveryPoint -Item $BackupItem -StartDate $Startdate.ToUniversalTime() -EndDate $Enddate.ToUniversalTime() -VaultId $vault.ID 
$jobsArray += $RP
$startingPoint = $startingPoint - 25
$finishingPoint = $finishingPoint -25
}until($startingPoint -le -($retentionDays))

$jobsArray | FT -AutoSize -Property RecoveryPointid, RecoveryPointTime, RecoveryPointType 

The example above will go back 2 years (730 Days). This outputs to a table but you can quiet easily export to a CSV via:

$jobsArray | Export-Csv c:\temp\restores.csv -NoTypeInformation 

Enjoy.
