Start-WBFileRecovery |
Starts a file recovery operation.
Start-WBFileRecovery [-BackupSet] <WBBackupSet> [-SourcePath] <String> [[-TargetPath] <String>]
[[-Option] <WBFileRecoveryOptions>] [-Recursive] [-NoRestoreAcl] [-Async] [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]
The Start-WBFileRecovery cmdlet starts a file recovery operation. For file recovery, you must specify the backup set from which to recover the file, along with the file that you want to recover.
To browse the volumes in backup, use the Get-WBBackupVolumeBrowsePath cmdlet.
PS C:\> Start-WBFileRecovery -BackupSet $Backup -FilePathToRecover "C:\Dir1" -Recursive -FileRecoveryOption CreateCopyIfExists -Force
Recovering files from C:\Dir1 :
Completed.
This command recovers the file at the path C:\Dir1 from the backup set named $Backup and restores it to its original location. Because the command includes the Force parameter, the backup proceeds without confirmation prompts.
PS C:\> Get-WBBackupVolumeBrowsePath -BackupSet $Backup -VolumeInBackup $Backup.Volume[0]

Warning
Start recovery of files from C:\Dir1\File1.txt to F:\Fir1 ?
[Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y
Recovering files from C:\Dir1\File1.txt :
Completed.
This example recovers the file named C:\Dir1\File1.txt to the alternate location F:\Dir1.
The first command uses the Get-WBBackupVolumeBrowsePath cmdlet to get the volume browse path for the file that you recover. The first element of the Volume array within the backup set stored in the variable named $Backup specifies the volume from which to obtain the backup files.
The second command checks the path that you obtained from the first command for a file named File1.txt.
The third command restores the file named File1.txt to the path F:\Dir1.
Indicates that Windows PowerShell® returns immediately after it starts the backup and does not display status messages.
