Question

I am currently creating a script to backup my windows servers, but I am running into issues with the server backup snap-in. the error message i get is

get-pssnapin : No Windows PowerShell snap-ins matching the pattern 'windows.serverbackup' were found. Check the
pattern and then try the command again.
At line:1 char:1

• get-pssnapin windows.serverbackup
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (windows.serverbackup:String) [Get-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoPSSnapInsFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetPSSnapinCommand

my main objective is to create a PS script that does a onetime backup, using task scheduler to run it at certian intervals

Answer 1

Snap-ins are passe, to say the least.

I think you're looking for the WindowsServerBackup module: windowsserverbackup
