Identity

Required

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPSiteSubscriptionPipeBind

Specifies the ID of the site subscription from which to back up data.

The type must be a valid URL, in the form http://server_name or a GUID in the form 1234-4567-985tg.

Path

Required

System.String

Specifies the location of the output file.

The type must be a valid path; for example, C:/backupfile.back..

AdminProperties

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Specifies that only administrator subscription properties are exported. If this parameter is not set, only non-administrator subscription properties are exported.

AssignmentCollection

Optional

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

Note:
When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

Force

No

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Forces the output backup file (if provided) to overwrite any existing file at the given path.
