DESCRIPTION
Set-DbaDbRecoveryModel sets the Recovery Model for user databases.
PARAMETERS
-AllDatabases [<Switch>]
This is a parameter that was included for safety, so you don't accidentally set options on all databases
without specifying
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Database [<System.Object[]>]
The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. if unspecified, all databases will
be processed.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeDatabase [<System.Object[]>]
The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
Required? false
Position? named
Default value

Accept wildcard characters? false
-InputObject [<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>]
A collection of databases (such as returned by Get-DbaDatabase)
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-RecoveryModel [<String>]
Recovery Model to be set. Valid options are 'Simple', 'Full', 'BulkLogged'
Details about the recovery models can be found here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/re ... sql-server
Required? false

Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
