Backup-DhcpServer is accessible with the help of DHCPServer module. To configure DHCPServer, go through this link.
Synopsis
Backs up the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) database of DHCP server service to the specified location.
Description
The Backup-DhcpServer cmdlet backs up the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) database of DHCP server service to specified location.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
