Backup-BitLockerKeyProtector [-MountPoint] <String[]> [-KeyProtectorId] <String> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

—————Example 1—————
Save a key protector for a volume
PS C:> $BLV = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint “C:”
PS C:>Backup-BitLockerKeyProtector -MountPoint “C:” -KeyProtectorId $BLV.KeyProtector[1]
This example saves a key protector for a specified BitLocker volume.
The second command backs up the key protector for the BitLocker volume specified by the MountPoint parameter. The command specifies the key protector by using its ID, contained in the BitLocker object stored in $BLV. The KeyProtector attribute contains an array of key protectors associated to the volume. This command uses standard array syntax to index the KeyProtector object. The key protector that corresponds to the recovery password key protector can be identified by using the KeyProtectorType attribute in the KeyProtector object.

—————Example 2—————
Save a key protector using an ID
PS C:> Backup-BitLockerKeyProtector -MountPoint “C:” -KeyProtectorId “{KeyProtectorID}”
The first command uses Get-BitLockerVolume to obtain a BitLocker volume and store it in the $BLV variable.
This command saves a key protector for a specified BitLocker volume to AD DS. The command specifies the key protector by using its ID.
