The usage for the command is as follows:
Start-VBExport -core -user [user name] -password [password] -protectedserver [machine name] or [IP address]] -volumes [volume names] -rpn [number | numbers] |
-time [time string] -vmname [virtual machine name] [-ram [total megabytes] |
-usesourceram] -linuxhostname [linux hostname] -hostport [linux port] -targetpath [location] pathusername [user name] - pathpassword [password]
