Restore-SbecBackupConfig

Restore-SbecBackupConfig is accessible with the help of BootEventCollector module. To configure BootEventCollector, go through this link.

Synopsis

Restores a configuration from a backup file.

Description

The Restore-SbecBackupConfig cmdlet restores a Boot Event Collector configuration from a backup file.

If the previous active configuration was not itself restored but set afresh (or checkpointed after restore), it is saved in a backup file. When doing multiple undo/redo/restore commands in a sequence, the intermediate configurations are not saved in the new backup files. A configuration from undo/redo/restore commands is automatically considered checkpointed if it was left unchanged for an hour.

You can use the OldTimestamp parameter to modify the configuration atomically.

The restored configuration is re-checked for validity, and refused if it has become corrupted.

You must have Builtin Administrator privilege to run this cmdlet.

Parameters

-At

Specifies the timestamp of the configuration file to restore. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

See Get-SbecBackupConfig for more information about timestamp formats and how to convert them.

-AtTimestamp

Specifies a FILETIME timestamp of the configuration file to restore.

See Get-SbecBackupConfig for more information about timestamp formats and how to convert them.

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet on the remote computers through a remote session. Enter a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet, or an array of these objects. The default is to run the cmdlet on the local computer. For more information, see About_CimSession.

-ComputerName

Specifies the names of the computers on which you want to perform the operation. You can specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), a NetBIOS name, or an IP address for each computer. For more information see Invoke-CimMethod on MSDN.

-Continue

Specifies that this operation will not throw an exception if a failure occurs. Instead the caller should examine the output of the cmdlet for the error information.

-Name

Specifies the name of the configuration file to restore. To get the list of backup configuration files, use the Get-SbecBackupConfig cmdlet.

-OldTimestamp

Specifies the timestamp of the previous active configuration. This provides a way to perform the atomic changes of the configuration. Each configuration has a timestamp (the time when it was last set or restored) and an original timestamp (if the configuration was restored, the time when it was originally set, otherwise the same as the normal timestamp). This operation checks that the OldTimestamp value matches either the normal or original timestamp of the current active configuration, thus ensuring that the active configuration wasn’t changed since the last time you have looked at it. If the values do not match, an error is returned.

Syntax

Restore-SbecBackupConfig -Name <String> [-OldTimestamp <UInt64>] [-Continue] [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

Restore-SbecBackupConfig -At <Object> [-OldTimestamp <UInt64>] [-Continue] [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

Restore-SbecBackupConfig -AtTimestamp <UInt64> [-OldTimestamp <UInt64>] [-Continue] [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

—————–Example 1—————–
Restore a backup configuration by name
PS C:\> Restore-SbecBackupConfig -Name “Active.xml.202003202002052542033.xml” | Format-List
This command restores the backup file named Active.xml.202003202002052542033.xml and uses the pipeline operator to pass it to Format-List, which formats the hash table returned by the operation.

—————–Example 2—————–
Restore the most recent backup configuration
PS C:\> $res = Restore-SbecBackupConfig -Name ((Get-SbecBackupConfig).Files[0].Name)
This command restores the most recent backup file from the list of available ones, identifying it by name.

—————–Example 3—————–
Restore a backup based on its time
PS C:\> $res = Restore-SbecBackupConfig -At ((Get-SbecBackupConfig).Files[0].Time)
This command restores the most recent backup file from the list of available backups, and identifies it by its time.

—————–Example 4—————–
Restore a backup based on its FILETIME timestamp
PS C:\> $Res = Restore-SbecBackupConfig -AtTimestamp ((Get-SbecBackupConfig).Files[0].Timestamp)
This command restores the most recent backup file from the list of available ones, identifying it by the FILETIME timestamp.

—————–Example 5—————–
Restore a configuration from a specified time
PS C:\> $res = Restore-SbecBackupConfig -At 20200519
This command restores the backup configuration that was active at midnight UTC of May 19 2020.
