Add-WBBackupTarget

  • Reference
Module:
WindowsServerBackup

Adds a backup target to a backup policy.

Syntax

Add-WBBackupTarget
   [-Policy] <WBPolicy>
   [-Target] <WBBackupTarget>
   [-Force]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-WBBackupTarget cmdlet adds a WBBackupTarget object, which specifies backup storage locations, to a WBPolicy object that contains a backup policy. To use this cmdlet, you must first use the New-WBBackupTarget cmdlet to create a WBBackupTarget object. You can then use the Add-WBBackupTarget cmdlet to specify the storage location by using a disk, a volume, or a remote shared folder (network) location.

Before you can add a backup target to a WBPolicy object, you must make sure that the WBPolicy object is in edit mode. To put the WBPolicy object in edit mode for a policy that you have set as the scheduled backup policy, use the Get-WBPolicy cmdlet with the Editable parameter. The New-WBPolicy cmdlet creates a new WBPolicy object that is already in edit mode.

If you specify a disk as a storage location for backups, the server formats the disk before it uses the disk and permanently deletes any existing data on the disk.

You can add only one storage type at a time to a policy. If you specify a shared folder as the storage location, you cannot add more locations because you can specify only one shared folder as a storage location at any time. However, you can specify multiple disks or volumes at one time by calling Add-WBBackupTarget for each location.

To use this cmdlet, you must be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group.

Examples

Example 1: Add a backup storage location to a backup policy

PS C:\> $Policy = Get-WBPolicy
PS C:\> Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $Policy -Target $BackupLocation

This example adds a backup storage location to a backup policy.

The first command gets the current backup policy and stores it in a variable named $Policy.

The second command adds the backup storage location in the variable named $BackupLocation to the WBPolicy object in the variable named $Policy. You can create the backup target that you add to the location in the $BackupLocation variable by using the New-WBBackupTarget cmdlet.

Parameters

-Force

Indicates that the cmdlet adds the backup target without prompting you for confirmation. By default, the cmdlet prompts you for confirmation before it proceeds.
