Remove-WBSystemState

Remove-WBSystemState

Removes the system state components from the backup policy.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Remove-WBSystemState [-Policy] <WBPolicy> [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Remove-WBSystemState cmdlet removes the system state components from a policy contained in the WBPolicy object. Depending on what the WBPolicy object includes, you may still backup some of the components that are part of the system state, but you may not be able to use the components in a system state recovery.

The WBPolicy object must be in edit mode. To put the WBPolicy object in edit mode for a policy that is 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 and any other Windows Server 2012 Backup cmdlets, you must be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group.
