Synopsis

Reads HKLM:\SOFTWARE\LabTechBackup\Service and returns the backed-up agent registry values as a PSCustomObject. This is the companion to New-LTServiceBackup, which writes those values in the first place. The function is particularly useful in Redo-LTService scenarios where the live HKLM:\SOFTWARE\LabTech\Service key has already been removed (e.g. during an uninstall/reinstall cycle) and the current service info is no longer available. Test-LTPorts also falls back to this function when Get-LTServiceInfo returns no server address. Like Get-LTServiceInfo, the function synthesizes a Server property by splitting the raw Server Address registry value on | and trimming entries. If HKLM:\SOFTWARE\LabTechBackup\Service does not exist the function writes an error instructing the caller to run New-LTServiceBackup first.
