Retrieves a list of objects from the container that is specified in the 'SearchBase' parameter. The objects are filtered by the 'objectClass' attribute.

Example 3

PS C:\> Get-RMADBackup | Get-RMADBackupObject -Filter "givenName=Name 1|Name 2,cn=Smith"

Retrieves a list of all registered backups and all objects that have 'Name 1' or 'Name 2' value for the 'givenName' attribute and 'Smith' for the 'CN' attribute.

Example 4

PS C:\> Get-RMADObject -Filter  "distinguishedName='CN=name1,DC=mydomain,DC=com'"

Retrieves a list of all registered backups and all objects that have the following distinguished name: CN=name1,DC=mydomain,DC=com.
