I am currently backing up a 2012 hyper-v server to an external USB drive using Windows Server Backup using the following:
$FullBackup = New-WBPolicy
Add-WBBareMetalRecovery –Policy $FullBackup
$ExternalDisk = Get-WBDisk | Where-Object {$_.Properties –Like “*External*”}
$BackupLocation = New-WBBackupTarget –Disk $ExternalDisk –Label “External”
Add-WBBackupTarget –Policy $FullBackup –Target $BackupLocation
Set-WBSchedule –Policy $FullBackup –Schedule 14:00, 03:00
Set-WBPolicy –Policy $FullBackup
The backup itself works fine and if I boot the server off of the OS disk I can restore the full server from the latest backup. However I would like to know if it's possible to restore a previous version of the backup (previous day, week, etc.) instead of just the most recent backup. If I run the command "get-wbsummary" there is a line for "number of versions". Currently that number is 14 and increases every time there is another backup. From this, is it possible to restore a previous version of the backup? Thank you all in advance for your help.
