Add-WBVolume

  • Reference
Module:
WindowsServerBackup

Adds the list of source volumes to the backup policy.

Syntax

Add-WBVolume
   [-Policy] <WBPolicy>
   [-Volume] <WBVolume[]>

Description

The Add-WBVolume cmdlet adds a list of source volumes to a WBPolicy object.

To use this and any other Windows Server 2012 Backup cmdlets, you must be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group.

Examples

Example 1: Add a list of volumes to a backup policy

PS C:\>$Volumes = Get-WBVolume PS C:\>$Policy = Get-WBPolicy PS C:\> Add-WBVolume -Policy $Policy -Volume $Volumes

This example adds a list of volumes for backup to the WBPolicy object.

The first command stores the output of the Get-WBVolume cmdlet in the variable named $Volumes.

The second command calls the Get-WBPolicy cmdlet and assigns the result to the $Policy variable.

The third command adds the volumes in the $Volumes variable to the backup policy.

Parameters

-Policy

Specifies a WBPolicy object that contains the backup policy to update.

Type:WBPolicy
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Volume

Specifies an array of volumes to add to the WBPolicy object.

Type:WBVolume[]
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

WBVolume [], WBPolicy

The Add-WBVolume cmdlet accepts WBVolume objects, which contain a new list of source volumes for the backup, and WBPolicy objects as input.

Outputs

WBVolume[]

The Add-WBVolume cmdlet outputs the list of WBVolume objects in the WBPolicy object, including the WBVolume objects that the cmdlet just added.

Notes

  • The WBPolicy object must be in edit mode. To put the WBPolicy object in edit mode for a policy that you 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.
