Examples

Example 1: Restore a volume

This example restores a volume from a backup set.

The first command uses the Get-WssBackupPolicy cmdlet to get the current backup policy, and stores the results in the variable $Policy.

The second command uses the Get-WssBackupVolume cmdlet to get the backup volumes that are backed up with this policy, and stores the result in the variable named $Source.

The third command uses the Get-WssBackupVolume cmdlet to get the volumes on the system, and stores the result in the variable named $Destination.

The fourth command uses the Get-WssBackupSet cmdlet to retrieve the backup sets, and stores the result in the variable named $Backupset.

The fifth command uses the Get-WssServerVolumeRestore cmdlet to restore the volume.

PS C:\> $Policy = Get-WssBackupPolicy
PS C:\> $Source = Get-WssBackupVolume -BackupPolicy $Policy
PS C:\> $Destination = Get-WssBackupVolume -AllVolumes
PS C:\> $Backupset = Get-WssBackupSet
PS C:\> Start-WssServerVolumeRestore -BackupSet $Backupset[0] -VolumeToRestore $Source[2] -DestinationVolume $Destination[2]
