NAME Backup-PrtgConfig
SYNOPSIS
Requests a PRTG Network Monitor server create a backup of its configuration database.
SYNTAX
Backup-PrtgConfig [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Backup-PrtgConfig cmdlet requests a PRTG Network Monitor server create a backup of its configuration database
after first writing the current running configuration to disk. Configuration backups are stored under the
Configuration Auto-Backups folder, by default located at C:\\ProgramData\\Paessler\\PRTG Network
Monitor\\Configuration Auto-Backups
When this cmdlet is executed, PRTG will asynchronously start creating a configuration backup. As such, this cmdlet
will return before the backup has completed. Depending on the size of your configuration database, this may take
several seconds to complete. In order to guarantee a backup has been successfully completed, it is recommended to
probe the contents of the Configuration Auto-Backups folder before and after running this script, to identify the
backup file that was created as a result of running this cmdlet. The created backup can also be identified by
parsing the DateTime timestamp in the created filename, typically "PRTG Configuration (Snapshot yyyy-MM-dd
HH-mm-ss)"
PARAMETERS
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
