Add-OBFileSpec
Adds the OBFileSpec object, which specifies the items to include or exclude from a backup, to the backup policy (OBPolicy object).
Parameter Set: Default
Add-OBFileSpec [-Policy] <CBPolicy> [-FileSpec] <CBFileSpec[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
The Add-OBFileSpec cmdlet adds the OBFileSpec object, which specifies the items to include or exclude from a backup, to the backup policy (OBPolicy object). The OBFileSpec object can include or exclude multiple files, folders, or volumes. The list of items to include can be defined by using the New-OBFileSpec cmdlet and then update the OBPolicy object using this cmdlet. The Add-OBFileSpec cmdlet supports WhatIf and Confirm parameters with a low impact. The low impact signifies that the cmdlet will not prompt the user by default. The WhatIf parameter gives a verbose description of what the cmdlet does. The Confirm parameter specifies whether the cmdlet should prompt the user. Using –Confirm:$FALSE will override the prompt.
Specifies the OBFileSpec object to add to the backup policy.
