| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Count | Gets the number of objects in the referenced collection.(Inherited from SmoCollectionBase.) |
| IsSynchronized | Gets the Boolean property value that specifies whether access to the collection is synchronized and therefore thread-safe.(Inherited from SmoCollectionBase.) |
| Item[Int32] | Gets a BackupDevice object in the collection by index number. |
| Item[String] | Gets a BackupDevice object in the collection by name. |
| Parent | Gets the Server object that is the parent of the BackupDeviceCollection object. |
| SyncRoot | Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the collection.(Inherited from SmoCollectionBase.) |
| Name | Description | |

 | Add(BackupDevice) | Adds the specified backup device to the referenced collection. |
 | AddExisting(SqlSmoObject) | Adds an object to the collection.(Inherited from AbstractCollectionBase.) |
| Contains(String) | Verifies whether the specified object exists in the collection.(Inherited from SimpleObjectCollectionBase.) |
| CopyTo(BackupDevice[], Int32) | Copies the collection of objects to a one-dimensional array starting at the specified index value. |
| Equals(Object) | (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetEnumerator() | Returns an IEnumerator interface that allows you to iterate through the objects in the collection. (Inherited from SmoCollectionBase.) |
| GetHashCode() | (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType() | (Inherited from Object.) |
| Refresh() | Refreshes the referenced collection.(Inherited from SmoCollectionBase.) |
| Refresh(Boolean) | Refreshes the referenced collection with the option to refresh child objects of the referenced collection.(Inherited from SmoCollectionBase.) |

| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | initialized | This value supports the SMO infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.(Inherited from AbstractCollectionBase.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | ICollection.CopyTo(Array, Int32) | Copies the elements from an instance to an array beginning at the index indicated.(Inherited from SmoCollectionBase.) |
A BackupDeviceCollection object can be used to gain access to a set of backup devices. You can use the Item property to return a specific BackupDevice object.
