Wbadmin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WBAdmin is a command-line utility built into Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The command is used to perform backups and restores of operating systems, drive volumes, files, folders, and applications from a command-line interface.
WBAdmin replaces the previous Microsoft Windows Backup command-line utility, NTBackup, which came built into Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.[1] It is the command-line version of Backup and Restore.
Two kinds of restore operations are supported using WBAdmin:
- Bare metal restore: using the Windows Recovery Environment you can complete a full server restoration to either the same server or to a server with dissimilar hardware (known as Hardware Independent Restore – HIR) [2]
- Individual file and folder, and system state restore: files, folders, or the machine’s system state can be restored from the command line using WBAdmin.
