Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8

Runs a recovery operation based on the parameters that you specify.

To perform a recovery with this subcommand, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or the Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate permissions. In addition, you must run wbadmin from an elevated command prompt. (To open an elevated command prompt, click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.)

For examples of how to use this subcommand, see Examples.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

-version

Specifies the version identifier of the backup to recover in MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM format. If you do not know the version identifier, type wbadmin get versions.

-items

Specifies a comma-delimited list of volumes, applications, files, or folders to recover.

  • If -itemtype is Volume, you can specify only a single volume—by providing the volume drive letter, volume mount point, or GUID-based volume name.

  • If -itemtype is App, you can specify only a single application. To be recovered, the application must have registered with Windows Server Backup. You can also use the value ADIFM to recover an installation of Active Directory. See Remarks in for more information.

  • If -itemtype is File, you can specify files or folders, but they should be part of the same volume and they should be under the same parent folder.

-itemtype

Specifies type of items to recover. Must be Volume, App, or File.

-backupTarget

Specifies the storage location that contains the backup that you want to recover. This parameter is useful when the location is different from where backups of this computer are usually stored.

-machine

Specifies the name of the computer that you want to recover the backup for. This parameter is useful when multiple computers have been backed up to the same location. It should be used when the -backupTarget parameter is specified.

-recoveryTarget

Specifies the location to restore to. This parameter is useful if this location is different than the location that was previously backed up. It can also be used for restorations of volumes, files, or applications. If you are restoring a volume, you can specify the volume drive letter of the alternate volume. If you are restoring a file or application, you can specify an alternate recovery location.

-recursive

Valid only when recovering files. Recovers the files in the folders and all files subordinate to the specified folders. By default, only files which reside directly in the specified folders are recovered.

-overwrite

Valid only when recovering files. Specifies the action to take when a file that is being recovered already exists in the same location.

  • Skip causes Windows Server Backup to skip the existing file and continue with recovery of the next file.

  • CreateCopy causes Windows Server Backup to create a copy of the existing file so that the existing file is not modified.

  • Overwrite causes Windows Server Backup to overwrite the existing file with the file from the backup.

-notRestoreAcl

Valid only when recovering files. Specifies to not restore the security access control lists (ACLs) of the files being recovered from the backup. By default, the security ACLs are restored (the default value is true). If this parameter is used, the ACLs for the restored files will be inherited from the location to which the files are being restored.

-skipBadClusterCheck

Valid only when recovering volumes. Skips checking the disks that you are recovering to for bad cluster information. If you are recovering to an alternate server or hardware, we recommend that you do not use this parameter. You can manually run the command chkdsk /b on these disks at any time to check them for bad clusters, and then update the file system information accordingly.

Important

Until you run chkdsk as described, the bad clusters reported on your recovered system may not be accurate.

-noRollForward

Valid only when recovering applications. Allows for previous point-in-time recovery of an application if the latest version from the backups is selected. For other versions of the application that are not the latest, previous point-in-time recovery is done as the default.

-quiet

Runs the subcommand with no prompts to the user.

Remarks

  • To view a list of items that are available for recovery from a specific backup version, use wbadmin get items. If a volume did not have a mount point or drive letter at the time of backup, then this subcommand would return a GUID-based volume name that should be used for recovering the volume.

  • When the -itemtype is App, you can use a value of ADIFM for -item to perform an install from media operation to recover all the related data needed for Active Directory Domain Services. ADIFM creates a copy of the Active Directory database, registry, and SYSVOL state, and then saves this information in the location specified by -recoveryTarget. Use this parameter only when -recoveryTarget is specified.

    Note

    Before using wbadmin to perform an install from media operation, you should consider using the ntdsutil command because ntdsutil only copies the minimum amount of data needed, and it uses a more secure data transport method.
