# Get-LTServiceInfoBackup

> Read agent service info from a backup file created by New-LTServiceBackup.

## 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.

## Syntax

```powershell theme={null}
Get-LTServiceInfoBackup [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Parameters

This command has no named parameters. It accepts only PowerShell common parameters.

## Return Values

Returns a single `PSCustomObject` with the same shape as the object returned by `Get-LTServiceInfo`, sourced from the backup registry hive instead of the live service key.

## Examples

### Basic usage

```powershell theme={null}
Get-LTServiceInfoBackup
```

Returns the backed-up agent info object.

### Access the server list from backup

```powershell theme={null}
(Get-LTServiceInfoBackup).Server
```

Returns the array of server URLs stored in the backup.

### Use in a reinstall workflow

```powershell theme={null}
# Preserve current settings before uninstalling
New-LTServiceBackup

Uninstall-LTService

# Retrieve server address from backup to reinstall
$server = (Get-LTServiceInfoBackup).Server | Select-Object -First 1
Install-LTService -Server $server
```
