Wbadmin start sysrecovery equivalent in Power Shell?

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to find out if there is Wbadmin start sysrecovery's equivalent in Power Shell? This is "specific" command since it "Performs a system recovery (bare metal recovery) "

wbadmin start sysrecovery
-version:<VersionIdentifier>
-backupTarget:{<BackupDestinationVolume> | <NetworkShareHostingBackup>}
[-machine:<BackupMachineName>]
[-restoreAllVolumes]
[-recreateDisks]
[-excludeDisks]
[-skipBadClusterCheck]
[-quiet]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/wbadmin-start-sysrecovery

Any idea?

Hi @InfoTechdude ,

You'll find the Windows Server Backup PowerShell command line reference over here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/windowserverbackup/?view=winserver2012r2-ps

The equivalent PowerShell cmdlet for Wbadmin start sysrecovery would be the Start-WBSystemStateRecovery cmdlet.

@Leon Laude Thanks man. Are you saying both system state + BMR are in Start-WBSystemStateRecovery? What will be "Start-WBVolumeRecovery" equivalent in wbdamin?

Answer 3

@Leon Laude Thank you. So to recap:
both:
wbadmin start systemstaterecovery (system state)
wbadmin start sysrecovery (bmr)
are in Start-WBSystemStateRecovery?
But wbadmin start recovery= Start-WBVolumeRecovery is for general recovery?
