Description:  Runs a recovery operation based on the parameters that you 
specify.
To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group 
or Administrators group. 

Parameters:
-version       Specifies the version of the backup to recover in 
                MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM format. If you do not know the version 
                identifier, type WBADMIN GET VERSIONS.

-items         Specifies a comma-delimited list of volumes, applications, 
                files, or folders to recover. 
                -If -itemtype is Volume, you can specify only a single volume
                by providing the volume drive letter, volume mount point, or 
                GUID-based volume name. 
                -If -itemtype is App, you can specify only a single 
                application. To be recovered, the application must have 
                registered with Windows Server Backup. You can also use the 
                value ADIFM to recover an installation of Active Directory 
                Domain Services. See Remarks for more information. 
                -If -itemtype is HyperV, you can specify VirtualMachine's name 
                or identifier.
                -If -itemtype is File, you can specify files or folders, but 
                they should be part of the same volume and they should be 
                under the same parent folder.

-itemtype      Specifies the type of items to recover. Must be Volume, App, 
               Hyperv or File.

-backupTarget  Specifies the storage location that contains the backup that 
                you want to recover. The parameter is useful when the 
                location is different from where backups of this computer are
                usually stored.

-machine       Specifies the name of the computer that you want to recover 
                the backup for. The parameter is useful when multiple 
                computers have been backed up to the same location. Should be
                used when -backupTarget is specified.

-recoveryTarget  Specifies the location to restore to. This parameter is 
                useful if this location is different than the location that 
                was previously backed up. It can also be used for 
                restorations of volumes, files, or applications. If you are 
                restoring a volume, you can specify the volume drive letter 
                of the alternate volume. 
                If you are restoring a file or application, you can specify 
                an alternate recovery location.

-recursive     Valid only when recovering files. Recovers the files in the 
                folders and all files subordinate to the specified folders. 
                By default, only files which reside directly under the 
                specified folders are recovered.

-overwrite     Valid only when recovering files. Specifies the action to take 
                when a file that is being recovered already exists in the 
                same location. 
                -Skip causes Windows Server Backup to skip the existing file 
                and continue with recovery of the next file. 
                -CreateCopy causes Windows Server Backup  to create a copy 
                of the existing file so that the existing file is not 
                modified. 
                -Overwrite causes Windows Server Backup to overwrite the 
                existing file with the file from the backup.

-notRestoreAcl Valid only when recovering files. Specifies to not restore 
                the security access control lists (ACLs) of files being 
                recovered from backup. By default, the security ACLs are 
                restored (the default value is true). If this parameter is 
                used, the ACLs for the restored files will be inherited from 
                the location to which the files are being restored.

-skipBadClusterCheck  Valid only when recovering volumes. Skips checking 
                the disks that you are recovering to for bad cluster 
                information. If you are recovering to an alternate server or 
                hardware, we recommend not using this parameter. You can 
                manually run the command CHKDSK /B on these disks at any time
                to check them for bad clusters, and then update the file 
                system information accordingly.
                Important: Until you run CHKDSK as described, the bad 
                clusters reported on your recovered system may not be 
                accurate.

-noRollForward  Valid only when recovering applications. This allows for
                previous point-in-time recovery if the latest version from
                the backups is selected. For other versions of the 
                application that are not the latest, previous point-in-time 
                recovery is done by default.

-alternateLocation  Valid only when recovering HyperV to alternate recovery target. 
                Allows recovering the HyperV components, updating configuration and 
                registering the VM with the Hyper-V management service.  
                    
-recreatePath  Valid only when recovering HyperV to alternate recovery target as copy as folders.
                This allows recreating the folder structure otherwise all the files of 
                a component will be put under a single folder.
                    
-quiet         Runs the command with no prompts to the user.
