This is related to restoring files from VMSnapshots.
We are tagging every backup with a file that can be searched for when we want to do restore.
FindRubrikFile returns the snapshotid and Get-RubrikVMSnapshot gets the snapshot itself based on that
The current functions Get-RubrikDownloadLink and Start-RubrikDownload does not work together with these types of snapshots.
85% of our snapshots are of the VM type
Describe the solution you'd like
I have already made 2 new functions called
Get-RubrikVMDownloadLink based on Get-RubrikDownloadLink
Start-RubrikVMDownload based on Start-RubrikDownload
I have registered them in Rubrik.psd1 under FunctionsToExport
I have also tried to change the help content in Rubrik-help.xml
I can install them and use them for my purposes but the UI for choosing parameters I cant change so I am using the same parameters that where in the functions I based the new functions on and then changing the @body later in the new scripts as well as the @uri
Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried to look in the Get-RubrikAPIData.ps1 to see if I could find any definitions for the original functions that I used as a template and the new ones there but there where no description for either Get-RubrikDownloadLink or Start-RubrikDownload there.
Now I have good code that is working but it is a fork and I want it to be included in coming releases
Additional context
I would like to give the functions I have and maybe You can do the last bit to include these in coming release.
The parameter SourceDir I think should change to Sourcepaths to make it more clear what is downloaded.
Also the help text needs to change and the examples. I can provide You these samples.
