Syntax: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP [-addtarget:] [-removetarget: ] [-schedule: ] [-include: [-nonRecurseInclude: ] [-exclude: ] [-nonRecurseExclude: ] [-allCritical] [-systemState] [-vssFull | -vssCopy] [-user: ] [-password: ] [-quiet] Description: Creates a daily backup schedule or modifies an existing backup schedule. With no options specified, displays the current scheduled backup settings. To use this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators group or Administrators group. Parameters: -addtarget Specifies the storage location for backups. Requires you to specify the location as a disk, volume, or Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a remote shared folder (\\ \ \). By default, the backup will be saved at: \\ \ \WindowsImageBackup\ \. If you specify a disk, the disk will be formatted before use, and any existing data on it is permanently erased. If you specify a shared folder, you cannot add more locations. You can only specify one shared folder as a storage location at a time. Important: If you save a backup to a remote shared folder, that backup will be overwritten if you use the same folder to backup the same computer again. In addition, if the backup operation fails, you may end up with no backup because the older backup will be overwritten, but the newer backup will not be usable. You can avoid this by creating subfolders in the remote shared folder to organize your backups. If you do this, the subfolders will need twice the space of the parent folder. Only one location can be specified in a single command. Multiple volume and disk backup storage locations can be added by running the command again. -removetarget Specifies the storage location that you want to remove from the existing backup schedule. -schedule Specifies the times of day to create a backup (comma-delimited and formatted as HH:MM). -include Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseInclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to include in the backup. You can include multiple files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. Should be used only when the -backupTarget parameter is used. -exclude Specifies the comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -nonRecurseExclude Specifies the non-recursive, comma-delimited list of items to exclude from the backup. You can exclude files, folders, or volumes. Volume paths can be specified using volume drive letters, volume mount points, or GUID-based volume names. If you use a GUID-based volume name, it should be terminated with a backslash (\). You can use the wildcard character (*) in the file name when specifying a path to a file. -systemState Creates a backup that includes the system state in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. -allCritical Creates a backup that includes all critical volumes (critical volumes contain the operating system files and components) in addition to any other items that you specified with the -include parameter. This parameter is useful if you are creating a backup for bare metal recovery. -vssFull Performs a full backup using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Each file's history is updated to reflect that it was backed up. If this parameter is not used WBADMIN START BACKUP makes a copy backup, but the history of files being backed up is not updated. Caution: Do not use this parameter if you are using a product other than Windows Server Backup to back up applications that are on the volumes included in the current backup. Doing so can potentially break the incremental, differential, or other type of backups that the other backup product is creating. -vssCopy Performs a copy backup using VSS. The history of the files being backed up is not updated. This is the default value. -user Specifies the user with write permission to the backup storage destination (if it is a remote shared folder). The user needs to be a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer that is getting backed up. -password Specifies the password for the user name provided by the parameter -user. -quiet Runs the command with no prompts to the user. Examples: WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:{aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63} -schedule:09:00,18:00 -include:e:,d:\mountpoint, \\?\Volume{cc566d14-44a0-11d9-9d93-806e6f6e6963}\ WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -include:c:\dir1\* -addtarget:e: -schedule:00:00 Remarks: To view the disk identifier of all online disks, use WBADMIN GET DISKS. If you want to back up an application for recovery, you must back up the entire volume that contains the application and application data.
