0x4000283c10Syntax: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP [-addtarget:] [-removetarget:] [-schedule:] [-include: [-nonRecurseInclude:] [-exclude:] [-nonRecurseExclude:] [-hyperv:] [-allCritical] [-systemState] [-vssFull | -vssCopy] [-user:] [-password:] [-quiet] [-allowDeleteOldBackups] [-subscriptionId:] [-vault:] [-force] [-storageRedundancy:] [-passphrase:] [-passphraseLoc:] [-region:] [-resourceGroup:] [-onlineRetention:] [-daysofWeek:] Description: Creates a daily backup schedule or modifies an existing backup schedule. With no options specified, displays the current scheduled backup settings. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -addtarget Specifies the storage location for backups. Requires you to specify the location as a disk, volume, or Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a remote shared folder (\\\\). By default, the backup will be saved at: \\\\WindowsImageBackup\ \. If you specify a disk, the disk will be formatted before use, and any existing data on it is permanently erased. If you specify a shared folder, you cannot add more locations. You can only specify one shared folder as a storage location at a time. Important: If you save a backup to a remote shared folder, that backup will be overwritten if you use the same folder to backup the same computer again. In addition, if the backup operation fails, you may end up with no backup because the older backup will be overwritten, but the newer backup will not be usable. You can avoid this by creating subfolders in the remote shared folder to organize your backups. If you do this, the subfolders will need twice the space of the parent folder. Only one location can be specified in a single command. Multiple volume and disk backup storage locations can be added by running the command again. -removetarget Specifies the storage location that you want to remove from the existing backup schedule. -schedule Specifies the times of day to create a backup (comma-delimited and formatted as HH:MM). -include Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseInclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -exclude Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseExclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -hyperv Specifies the comma-delimited list of components to be included in backup. The identifier could be component name or component guid(with or without braces). -systemState Creates a backup that includes the system state in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. -allCritical Creates a backup that includes all critical volumes (critical volumes contain the operating system files and components) in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. This parameter is useful if you are creating a backup for bare metal recovery. -vssFull Performs a full backup using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Each file's history is updated to reflect that it was backed up. If this parameter is not used WBADMIN START BACKUP makes a copy backup, but the history of files being backed up is not updated. Caution: Do not use this parameter if you are using a product other than Windows Server Backup to back up applications that are on the volumes included in the current backup. Doing so can potentially break the incremental, differential, or other type of backups that the other backup product is creating. -vssCopy Performs a copy backup using VSS. The history of the files being backed up is not updated. This is the default value. -user Specifies the user with write permission to the backup storage destination (if it is a remote shared folder). The user needs to be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer that is getting backed up. -password Specifies the password for the user name provided by the parameter -user. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. -allowDeleteOldBackups Overwrites the backups found before upgrade. -subscriptionId Specifies a valid Azure subscription ID associated with the Azure Recovery Services Vault where backups are stored. Refer to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=874985 to create your first Azure subscription. -vault Specifies the name of the Azure Recovery Services Vault in a given Azure subscription where backups are to be stored. Specifying this option in conjunction with '-force' triggers the creation of a Vault with the specified name in the given Azure subscription and resource group. -force Specifies the Azure Datacenter region where the Azure Recovery Services Vault is located. The region name is required to be consistent with the Azure Region names at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=875021 . -storageRedundancy Denotes data redundancy settings for the Recovery Services Vault. One of 'LocallyRedundant' and 'GeoRedundant' is allowed and enforced only when the Recovery Services Vault does not have any servers registered for backup. 'LocallyRedundant' refers to Locally-Redundant storage and configures the vault to keep 3 copies of backup data in a single Azure Datacenter for higher resilience against corruptions. 'GeoRedundant' refers to Geo-Redundant Storage that keeps 6 copies of backup data, 3 of which are stored in a different Azure datacenter in a paired region to protect against outages. The default selection for storage redundancy is 'GeoRedundant'. Refer to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=875020 for more details about other features and pricing for these settings. -passphrase Specifies the encryption-passphrase (minimum 22 characters) used to encrypt backups to Azure. -passphraseLoc Full path of the file where the encryption passphrase is saved. -region Specifies the Azure Datacenter region where the Azure Recovery Services Vault is located. The region name is required to be consistent with the Azure Region names at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=875021 . -resourceGroup Specifies the name of the Azure Resource Group that contains or is intended to contain the Azure Recovery Services Vault. Specifying this option in conjunction with '-force' triggers the creation of a Resource Group with the specified name in the given Azure subscription, if not available already. -onlineRetention Specifies the number of days a backup is required to be retained in the Azure Recovery Services Vault. -daysofWeek Specifies comma-separated days in a week when backups are to be scheduled. For example, to schedule backups on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, -daysofWeek:Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday is specified. Examples: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:Azure -SystemState -schedule:00:00 -region:"West US" WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:Azure -SystemState -schedule:00:00 -daysofWeek:Monday,Wednesday -region:"West US" -subscriptionId:"2f1a064d-a200-4b4d-9c97-398681346ae5" -resourceGroup:SSBTestRG-vault:SSBTestVault -storageRedundancy:GeoRedundant -onlineRetention:30 -passphrase:ptzaPvKrAdgYo0SeGvIaZ8fw8kycJSK -passphraseLoc:D:\passphrasedir WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:{aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63} -schedule:09:00,18:00 -include:e:,d:\mountpoint, \\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\ WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -include:c:\dir1\* -addtarget:e: -schedule:00:00 -hyperv:vm1,{627cf8de-2967-4c39-852c-655a691d245f} WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:e: -hyperv:vm1,{627cf8de-2967-4c39-852c-655a691d245f} -schedule:00:00 Remarks: To view the disk identifier of all online disks, use WBADMIN GET DISKS. If you want to back up an application for recovery, you must back up the entire volume that contains the application and application data.

0x4000287c1011START BACKUP -- Runs a one-time backup.
0x4000287d1011Syntax: WBADMIN START BACKUP [-backupTarget:{ | }] [-include:] [-nonRecurseInclude:] [-exclude:] [-nonRecurseExclude:] [-hyperv:] [-allCritical] [-systemState] [-noVerify] [-user:] [-password:] [-noInheritAcl] [-vssFull | -vssCopy] [-quiet] [-allowDeleteOldBackups] Description: Creates a backup using specified parameters. If no parameters are specified and you have created a scheduled daily backup, this command creates the backup by using the settings for the scheduled backup. Parameters: -backupTarget Specifies the storage location for this backup. Requires a hard disk drive letter (f:), a volume GUID-based path in the format of \\?\Volume{GUID}, or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a remote shared folder (\\\ \). By default, the backup will be saved at: \\\\WindowsImageBackup\ \. Important: If you save a backup to a remote shared folder, that backup will be overwritten if you use the same folder to backup the same computer again. In addition, if the backup operation fails, you may end up with no backup because the older backup will be overwritten, but the newer backup will not be usable. You can avoid this by creating subfolders in the remote shared folder to organize your backups. If you do this, the subfolders will need twice the space of the parent folder. -include Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -exclude Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -nonRecurseInclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -nonRecurseExclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -hyperv Specifies the comma-delimited list of components to be included in backup. The identifier could be component name or component guid(with or without braces). -allCritical Creates a backup that includes all critical volumes (critical volumes contain the operating system files and components) in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. This parameter is useful if you are creating a backup for bare metal recovery. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -systemState Creates a backup that includes the system state in addition to any other items that you specified with the include parameter. -noVerify Specifies that backups written to removable media (such as a DVD) are not verified for errors. If you do not use this parameter, backups saved to removable media are verified for errors. -user If the backup is saved to a remote shared folder, specifies the user name with write permission to the folder. -password Specifies the password for the user name that is provided for the parameter -user. -noInheritAcl Applies the access control list (ACL) permissions that correspond to the credentials specified by -user and -password to \\\\WindowsImageBackup\ \ (the folder that contains the backup). To access the backup later, you must use these credentials or be a member of the Administrators group or the Backup Operators group on the computer with the shared folder. If -noInheritAcl is not used, the ACL permissions from the remote shared folder are applied to the folder by default so that anyone with access to the remote shared folder can access the backup. -vssFull Performs a full backup using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Each file's history is updated to reflect that it was backed up. If this parameter is not used WBADMIN START BACKUP makes a copy backup, but the history of files being backed up is not updated. Caution: Do not use this parameter if you are using a product other than Windows Server Backup to back up applications that are on the volumes included in the current backup. Doing so can potentially break the incremental, differential, or other type of backups that the other backup product is creating. -vssCopy Performs a copy backup using VSS. The history of the files being backed up is not updated. This is the default value. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. -allowDeleteOldBackups Overwrites the backups found before upgrade. Examples: WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:f: -include:e:, d:\mountpoint,\\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\ -hyperv:vm1,{627cf8de-2967-4c39-852c-655a691d245f} WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:f: -include:e:\*, d:\mountpoint\*,\\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\ -exclude:e:\folder\* WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:\\server\share -hyperv:vm1,{627cf8de-2967-4c39-852c-655a691d245f} Remarks: If you want to back up an application for recovery, you must back up the entire volume that contains the application and application data.
0x4000287e1011STOP JOB -- Stops the currently running backup or recovery operation.
0x4000287f1011Syntax: WBADMIN STOP JOB [-quiet] Description: Cancels the backup or recovery operation that is currently running. Canceled operations cannot be restarted - you must rerun a canceled backup or recovery operation from the beginning. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user.
0x400028801011GET VERSIONS -- Lists details of backups that can be recovered from a specified location.
0x400028811011Syntax: WBADMIN GET VERSIONS [-backupTarget:{ | }] [-machine:] Description: Lists details about the available backups that are stored on the local computer or on another computer. When this command is used without parameters, it lists all backups of the local computer, even if those backups are not available. The details provided for a backup include the backup time, the backup storage location, the version identifier (needed for WBADMIN GET ITEMS and to perform recoveries), and the type of recoveries you can perform. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -backupTarget Specifies the storage location that contains the backups that you want the details for. Use for listing information about backups that were not of the local computer. Alternate locations can be locally attached hard disk drives, DVD drives, or remote shared folders. -machine Specifies the computer that you want backup details for. Use when backups of multiple computers are stored in the same location. Should be used when -backupTarget is specified. Examples: WBADMIN GET VERSIONS -backupTarget:h: WBADMIN GET VERSIONS -backupTarget:\\servername\share -machine:server01 Remarks: To list items available for recovery from a specific backup, use WBADMIN GET ITEMS.
0x400028821011START RECOVERY -- Runs a recovery.
0x400028831011Syntax: WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version: -items:{ | | | } -itemtype:{Volume | App | HyperV | File} [-backupTarget:{ | }] [-machine:] [-recoveryTarget:{ | }] [-recursive] [-overwrite:{Overwrite | CreateCopy | Skip}] [-notRestoreAcl] [-skipBadClusterCheck] [-noRollForward] [-alternateLocation] [-recreatePath] [-quiet] Description: Runs a recovery operation based on the parameters that you specify. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -version Specifies the version 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 Domain Services. See Remarks for more information. -If -itemtype is HyperV, you can specify VirtualMachine's name or identifier. -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 the type of items to recover. Must be Volume, App, Hyperv or File. -backupTarget Specifies the storage location that contains the backup that you want to recover. The 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. The parameter is useful when multiple computers have been backed up to the same location. Should be used when -backupTarget 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 under 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 files being recovered from 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 not using 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. This allows for previous point-in-time recovery 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 by default. -alternateLocation Valid only when recovering HyperV to alternate recovery target. Allows recovering the HyperV components, updating configuration and registering the VM with the Hyper-V management service. -recreatePath Valid only when recovering HyperV to alternate recovery target as copy as folders. This allows recreating the folder structure otherwise all the files of a component will be put under a single folder. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user.

This parameter is useful when multiple computers have been backed up to the same location. Should be used when -backupTarget is specified. -restoreAllVolumes Recovers all volumes from the selected backup. If this parameter is not specified, only critical volumes (volumes that contain the system state and operating system components) are recovered. This parameter is useful when you need to recover non-critical volumes during system recovery. -recreateDisks Recovers a disk configuration to the state that existed when the backup was created. Warning: This parameter deletes all data on volumes that host operating system components. It might also delete data from data volumes. -excludeDisks Valid only when specified with the -recreateDisks parameter and must be input as a comma-delimited list of disk identifiers (as listed in output of WBADMIN GET DISKS). Excluded disks are not partitioned or formatted. This parameter helps to preserve data on disks that you do not want modified during the recovery. -skipBadClusterCheck Skips checking your recovery destination disks for bad cluster information. If you are restoring to an alternate server or hardware, we recommend that you do not use this parameter. You can manually run CHKDSK /B on your recovery disks at any time to check them for bad clusters and update the file system information accordingly.

If no parameters are specified and you have created a scheduled daily backup, this command creates the backup by using the settings for the scheduled backup. Parameters: -backupTarget Specifies the storage location for this backup. Requires a hard disk drive letter (f:), a volume GUID-based path in the format of \\?\Volume{GUID}, or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a remote shared folder (\\\\). By default, the backup will be saved at: \\ \\WindowsImageBackup\\. Important: If you save a backup to a remote shared folder, that backup will be overwritten if you use the same folder to back up the same computer again. In addition, if the backup operation fails, you may finish with no backup because the older backup will be overwritten, but the newer backup will not be usable. You can avoid this by creating subfolders in the remote shared folder to organize your backups. If you do this, the subfolders will need twice the space of the parent folder. -include Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -allCritical Creates a backup that includes all critical volumes (critical volumes contain the operating system files and components) in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. This parameter is useful if you are creating a backup for bare metal recovery or system state recovery. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -user If the backup is saved to a remote shared folder, specifies the user name with write permission to the folder. -password Specifies the password for the user name that is provided by the parameter -user. -noInheritAcl Applies the access control list (ACL) permissions that correspond to the credentials specified by -user and -password to \\\\WindowsImageBackup \\ (the folder that contains the backup). To access the backup later, you must use these credentials or be a member of the Administrators group or the Backup Operators group on the computer with the shared folder. If -noInheritAcl is not used, the ACL permissions from the remote shared folder are applied to the folder by default so that anyone with access to the remote shared folder can access the backup. -noVerify Specifies that backups written to removable media (such as a DVD) are not verified for errors. If you do not use this parameter, backups saved to removable media are verified for errors. -vssFull Performs a full backup using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Each file's history is updated to reflect that it was backed up. If this parameter is not used WBADMIN START BACKUP makes a copy backup, but the history of files being backed up is not updated. Caution: Do not use this parameter if you are using a product other than Windows Server Backup to back up applications that are on the volumes included in the current backup. Doing so can potentially break the incremental, differential, or other type of backups that the other backup product is creating. -vssCopy Performs a copy backup using VSS. The history of the files being backed up is not updated. This is the default value. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. Example: WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:f: -include:e:,d:\mountpoint, \\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\

0x400028f21011Syntax: WBADMIN DELETE BACKUP {-keepVersions: | -version: | -deleteOldest} [-backupTarget:] [-machine:] [-quiet] Description: Deletes the backups that you specify. If the specified volume contains backups other than backups of the local server, those backups will not be deleted. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -keepVersions Specifies the number of the latest backups to keep. The value must be a positive integer. The option value -keepVersions:0 deletes all the backups. -version Version identifier of the backup in MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM format. If you do not know the version identifier, at a command prompt, type: WBADMIN GET VERSIONS. Versions that are exclusively backups can be deleted using this command. Use WBADMIN GET ITEMS to view the version type. -deleteOldest Deletes the oldest backup. -backupTarget Specifies the storage location for the backup that you want to delete. The storage location for backups is a drive letter, a mount point, or a GUID-based volume path. This value only needs to be specified for locating backups that are not of the local computer. Information about backups for the local computer will be available in the backup catalog on the local computer. -machine Specifies the computer whose backup you want to delete. Useful when multiple computers were backed up to the same location. Should be used when -backupTarget is specified. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. Remarks: One, and only one, of these parameters must be specified: -keepVersions, -version, or -deleteOldest. Examples: WBADMIN DELETE BACKUP -version:03/31/2006-10:00 WBADMIN DELETE BACKUP -keepVersions:3 WBADMIN DELETE BACKUP -backupTarget:f: -deleteOldest

If a volume did not have a mount point or drive letter at the time of backup, then this command 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 (IFM) 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. Also, the NTDSUTIL IFM subcommand removes secrets, such as passwords, from read-only domain controller (RODC) installation media. This makes transportation of the installation media more secure.
0x400029111011Any virtual machines included in the backup might be temporarily placed into a saved state when the backup runs.
0x400029121011Syntax: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP [-addtarget:] [-removetarget:] [-schedule:] [-include: [-nonRecurseInclude:] [-exclude:] [-nonRecurseExclude:] [-allCritical] [-vssFull | -vssCopy] [-user:] [-password:] [-quiet] [-allowDeleteOldBackups] Description: Creates a daily backup schedule or modifies an existing backup schedule. With no options specified, displays the current scheduled backup settings. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -addtarget Specifies the storage location for backups. Requires you to specify the location as a disk, volume, or Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a remote shared folder (\\\\). By default, the backup will be saved at: \\\\WindowsImageBackup\ \. If you specify a disk, the disk will be formatted before use, and any existing data on it is permanently erased. If you specify a shared folder, you cannot add more locations. You can only specify one shared folder as a storage location at a time. Important: If you save a backup to a remote shared folder, that backup will be overwritten if you use the same folder to backup the same computer again. In addition, if the backup operation fails, you may end up with no backup because the older backup will be overwritten, but the newer backup will not be usable. You can avoid this by creating subfolders in the remote shared folder to organize your backups. If you do this, the subfolders will need twice the space of the parent folder. Only one location can be specified in a single command. Multiple volume and disk backup storage locations can be added by running the command again. -removetarget Specifies the storage location that you want to remove from the existing backup schedule. -schedule Specifies the times of day to create a backup (comma-delimited and formatted as HH:MM). -include Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseInclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -exclude Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseExclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -allCritical Creates a backup that includes all critical volumes (critical volumes contain the operating system files and components) in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. This parameter is useful if you are creating a backup for bare metal recovery. -vssFull Performs a full backup using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Each file's history is updated to reflect that it was backed up. If this parameter is not used WBADMIN START BACKUP makes a copy backup, but the history of files being backed up is not updated. Caution: Do not use this parameter if you are using a product other than Windows Server Backup to back up applications that are on the volumes included in the current backup. Doing so can potentially break the incremental, differential, or other type of backups that the other backup product is creating. -vssCopy Performs a copy backup using VSS. The history of the files being backed up is not updated. This is the default value. -user Specifies the user with write permission to the backup storage destination (if it is a remote shared folder). The user needs to be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer that is getting backed up. -password Specifies the password for the user name provided by the parameter -user. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. -allowDeleteOldBackups Overwrites the backups found before upgrade. Examples: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -include:c:\dir1\* -addtarget:e: -schedule:00:00 WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:e: -schedule:00:00 -allCritical

0x4000283c11Syntax: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP [-addtarget:] [-removetarget:] [-schedule:] [-include: [-nonRecurseInclude:] [-exclude:] [-nonRecurseExclude:] [-hyperv:] [-allCritical] [-systemState] [-vssFull | -vssCopy] [-user:] [-password:] [-quiet] [-allowDeleteOldBackups] [-subscriptionId:] [-vault:] [-force] [-storageRedundancy:] [-passphrase:] [-passphraseLoc:] [-region:] [-resourceGroup:] [-onlineRetention:] [-daysofWeek:] Description: Creates a daily backup schedule or modifies an existing backup schedule. With no options specified, displays the current scheduled backup settings. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -addtarget Specifies the storage location for backups. Requires you to specify the location as a disk, volume, or Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a remote shared folder (\\\\). By default, the backup will be saved at: \\\\WindowsImageBackup\ \. If you specify a disk, the disk will be formatted before use, and any existing data on it is permanently erased. If you specify a shared folder, you cannot add more locations. You can only specify one shared folder as a storage location at a time. Important: If you save a backup to a remote shared folder, that backup will be overwritten if you use the same folder to backup the same computer again. In addition, if the backup operation fails, you may end up with no backup because the older backup will be overwritten, but the newer backup will not be usable. You can avoid this by creating subfolders in the remote shared folder to organize your backups. If you do this, the subfolders will need twice the space of the parent folder. Only one location can be specified in a single command. Multiple volume and disk backup storage locations can be added by running the command again. -removetarget Specifies the storage location that you want to remove from the existing backup schedule. -schedule Specifies the times of day to create a backup (comma-delimited and formatted as HH:MM). -include Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseInclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -exclude Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseExclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -hyperv Specifies the comma-delimited list of components to be included in backup. The identifier could be component name or component guid(with or without braces). -systemState Creates a backup that includes the system state in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. -allCritical Creates a backup that includes all critical volumes (critical volumes contain the operating system files and components) in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. This parameter is useful if you are creating a backup for bare metal recovery. -vssFull Performs a full backup using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Each file's history is updated to reflect that it was backed up. If this parameter is not used WBADMIN START BACKUP makes a copy backup, but the history of files being backed up is not updated. Caution: Do not use this parameter if you are using a product other than Windows Server Backup to back up applications that are on the volumes included in the current backup. Doing so can potentially break the incremental, differential, or other type of backups that the other backup product is creating. -vssCopy Performs a copy backup using VSS. The history of the files being backed up is not updated. This is the default value. -user Specifies the user with write permission to the backup storage destination (if it is a remote shared folder). The user needs to be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer that is getting backed up. -password Specifies the password for the user name provided by the parameter -user. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. -allowDeleteOldBackups Overwrites the backups found before upgrade. -subscriptionId Specifies a valid Azure subscription ID associated with the Azure Recovery Services Vault where backups are stored. Refer to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=874985 to create your first Azure subscription. -vault Specifies the name of the Azure Recovery Services Vault in a given Azure subscription where backups are to be stored. Specifying this option in conjunction with '-force' triggers the creation of a Vault with the specified name in the given Azure subscription and resource group. -force Specifies the Azure Datacenter region where the Azure Recovery Services Vault is located. The region name is required to be consistent with the Azure Region names at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=875021 . -storageRedundancy Denotes data redundancy settings for the Recovery Services Vault. One of 'LocallyRedundant' and 'GeoRedundant' is allowed and enforced only when the Recovery Services Vault does not have any servers registered for backup. 'LocallyRedundant' refers to Locally-Redundant storage and configures the vault to keep 3 copies of backup data in a single Azure Datacenter for higher resilience against corruptions. 'GeoRedundant' refers to Geo-Redundant Storage that keeps 6 copies of backup data, 3 of which are stored in a different Azure datacenter in a paired region to protect against outages. The default selection for storage redundancy is 'GeoRedundant'. Refer to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=875020 for more details about other features and pricing for these settings. -passphrase Specifies the encryption-passphrase (minimum 22 characters) used to encrypt backups to Azure. -passphraseLoc Full path of the file where the encryption passphrase is saved. -region Specifies the Azure Datacenter region where the Azure Recovery Services Vault is located. The region name is required to be consistent with the Azure Region names at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=875021 . -resourceGroup Specifies the name of the Azure Resource Group that contains or is intended to contain the Azure Recovery Services Vault. Specifying this option in conjunction with '-force' triggers the creation of a Resource Group with the specified name in the given Azure subscription, if not available already. -onlineRetention Specifies the number of days a backup is required to be retained in the Azure Recovery Services Vault. -daysofWeek Specifies comma-separated days in a week when backups are to be scheduled. For example, to schedule backups on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, -daysofWeek:Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday is specified. Examples: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:Azure -SystemState -schedule:00:00 -region:"West US" WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:Azure -SystemState -schedule:00:00 -daysofWeek:Monday,Wednesday -region:"West US" -subscriptionId:"2f1a064d-a200-4b4d-9c97-398681346ae5" -resourceGroup:SSBTestRG-vault:SSBTestVault -storageRedundancy:GeoRedundant -onlineRetention:30 -passphrase:ptzaPvKrAdgYo0SeGvIaZ8fw8kycJSK -passphraseLoc:D:\passphrasedir WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:{aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63} -schedule:09:00,18:00 -include:e:,d:\mountpoint, \\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\ WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -include:c:\dir1\* -addtarget:e: -schedule:00:00 -hyperv:vm1,{627cf8de-2967-4c39-852c-655a691d245f} WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:e: -hyperv:vm1,{627cf8de-2967-4c39-852c-655a691d245f} -schedule:00:00 Remarks: To view the disk identifier of all online disks, use WBADMIN GET DISKS. If you want to back up an application for recovery, you must back up the entire volume that contains the application and application data.
