Start-WBVolumeRecovery

  • Reference
Module:
WindowsServerBackup

Starts a volume recovery operation.

Syntax

Start-WBVolumeRecovery
     [-BackupSet] <WBBackupSet>
     [-VolumeInBackup] <WBVolume>
     [[-RecoveryTargetVolume] <WBVolume>]
     [-SkipBadClusterCheck]
     [-Async]
     [-Force]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Start-WBVolumeRecovery cmdlet starts a volume recovery operation from a WBBackupSet backup. The operation formats the recovery target volume before recovery.

Examples

Example 1: Start volume recovery

PS C:\> $Backup = Get-WBBackupSet
PS C:\> Start-WBVolumeRecovery -BackupSet $Backup -VolumeInBackup $Backup.Volume[0] -Force

This example starts a volume recovery to the original location, and it uses the Force parameter to perform the operation without a confirmation message.

The first command stores the result of the Get-WBBackupSet cmdlet in the variable named $Backup. The object stored in the variable is a WBBackupSet object.

The second command starts the volume recovery by using the $Backup variable as input, specifying the first item in the volume array in the WBBackupSet object.

Example 2: Start a volume recovery with a recovery target

PS C:\> $Backup = Get-WBBackupSet
PS C:\> $RecoveryTarget = Get-WBVolume
PS C:\> Start-WBVolumeRecovery -BackupSet $Backup -VolumeInBackup $Backup.Volume[0] -RecoveryTargetVolume $RecoveryTarget

This example starts volume recovery for the System Reserved volume and restores to the recovery target volume.

The first command stores the output of the Get-WBBackupSet cmdlet in the variable named $Backup.

The second command stores the output of the Get-WBVolume cmdlet in the variable named $RecoveryTarget.

The third command starts the recovery operation for the volume specifying the $Backup variable as the backup to use and the $RecoveryTarget variable as the volume to restore.
