Usage: WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:VersionIdentifier -items:VolumesToRecover|AppsToRecover|FilesOrFoldersToRecover -itemtype:{Volume | App | File} [-backupTarget:{VolumeHostingBackup | NetworkShareHostingBackup}] [-machine:BackupMachineName] [-recoveryTarget:TargetVolumeForRecovery | TargetPathForRecovery] [-recursive] [-overwrite:{Overwrite | CreateCopy | Skip}] [-notRestoreAcl] [-skipBadClusterCheck] [-noRollForward] [-quiet] Runs a recovery based on the parameters that you specify. -version Specifies the version of the backup to recover in MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM format, as listed by WBADMIN GET VERSIONS. -items Comma-delimited list of volumes, applications, and files to recover. If -itemtype is Volume, it can be only a single volume that is specified by providing the volume drive letter, volume mount point, or GUID-based volume name. If -itemtype is App, it can be only a single application. Applications that have registered with Windows Server Backup can be recovered. You can also use the value ADIFM to recover an installation of Active Directory. If -itemtype is File, it can be files or directories, but it should be part of the same volume and it should be under the same parent. -itemtype Type of items to recover. Must be Volume, App, or File. -backupTarget Specifies the storage location that contains the backup that you want to recover. Useful when the location is different from the location where backups of this computer are usually stored. -machine Specifies the name of the computer for which you want to recover the backup. Useful when multiple computers have been backed up to the same location. Should be used when -backupTarget is specified. -recoveryTarget Specifies the drive letter to restore to. Useful if the drive is different than the one that was previously backed up. 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 backup path. -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 the recovery to skip the existing file and continue with recovery of the next file. CreateCopy causes the recovery to create a copy of the existing file so that the existing file will not be modified. Overwrite causes the recovery 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 would be restored (the default is true). If this parameter is used, the default ACLs for the location that the files are being restored to are inherited. -skipBadClusterCheck Valid only when recovering volumes. Skips checking your recovery destination disks for bad cluster information. If you are restoring to an alternate server or hardware, it is recommended that this switch not be used. You can manually run the command CHKDSK /B on your recovery disks at any time to check them for bad clusters and 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 will allow for previous point in time recovery if the latest version from the backups is selected. For other versions which are not the latest, previous point in time recovery is done as default. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. Examples: WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:03/31/2005-09:00 -itemType:Volume -items:d: WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:03/31/2005-09:00 -itemType:App -items:Registry -recoverytarget:d:\ WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:03/31/2005-09:00 -itemType:File -items:d:\folder -recursive WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:03/31/2005-09:00 -itemType:Volume -items:\\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\ WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:04/30/2005-09:00 -backupTarget:\\servername\share -machine:server01 Remarks: To view a list of items available for recovery from a specific backup version, use WBADMIN GET ITEMS. If a volume did not have a mount point or drive letter at the time of backup, then this command would return a GUID-based volume name that should be used for recovering the volume. When the -itemtype is App, you can use a value of ADIFM for -item to perform an install from Media operation to recover all the related data needed for Active Directory. ADIFM creates a copy of the Active Directory database, registry, and SYSVOL state, and then saves this information in the location specified by -recoveryTarget. Use this parameter only when -recoveryTarget is specified.
