Syntax

Remove-WBFileSpec

      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Remove-WBFileSpec cmdlet removes a WBFileSpec object that contains a backup file specification from a WBPolicy object that contains a backup policy. A backup file specification contains a list of items to include in or exclude from backups that use the backup policy.

Before you can remove a backup file specification from a WBPolicy object, you must put the WBPolicy object 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.

To use this cmdlet, you must be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group.
