Get-WBPerformanceConfiguration

Get-WBPerformanceConfiguration

Retrieves the current volume backup performance settings.

Syntax

Parameter Set: OverallSetting
Get-WBPerformanceConfiguration [-OverallPerformanceSetting] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: Volume
Get-WBPerformanceConfiguration [-Volume] <WBVolume> [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Get-WBPerformanceSetting cmdlet retrieves the current performance settings for volume backups. The settings are applicable only for volume backups; these settings are not applicable for files, folders, system state, or applications. The settings apply globally to all volumes in a backup, or to specific volumes. The valid settings are:

--AlwaysFull: The time to create a backup is proportional to the size of volume being backed up. This setting applies at a global level for all volumes or for specific volumes.

--AlwaysIncremental: Increase the backup speed by just tracking the changes between the last and current backup. This option is not recommended for servers with disk-intensive operation which may experience reduced disk throughput on volumes included in the backup. This can be set at a global level for all volumes or specific for some volumes.

--Custom: This is the global setting reported in case there is a specific volume level setting set.

Parameters

If specified, indicates that the returned data is to be for the global setting.
