function Export-DbaInstance { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports SQL Server *ALL* database restore scripts, logins, database mail profiles/accounts, credentials, SQL Agent objects, linked servers, Central Management Server objects, server configuration settings (sp_configure), user objects in systems databases, system triggers and backup devices from one SQL Server to another. For more granular control, please use one of the -Exclude parameters and use the other functions available within the dbatools module. .DESCRIPTION Export-DbaInstance consolidates most of the export scripts in dbatools into one command. This is useful when you're looking to Export entire instances. It less flexible than using the underlying functions. Think of it as an easy button. Unless an -Exclude is specified, it exports: All database restore scripts. All logins. All database mail objects. All credentials. All objects within the Job Server (SQL Agent). All linked servers. All groups and servers within Central Management Server. All SQL Server configuration objects (everything in sp_configure). All user objects in system databases. All system triggers. All system backup devices. All Audits. All Endpoints. All Extended Events. All Policy Management objects. All Resource Governor objects. All Server Audit Specifications. All Custom Errors (User Defined Messages). All Server Roles. All Availability Groups. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instances .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Credential Alternative Windows credentials for exporting Linked Servers and Credentials. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Path Specifies the directory where the file or files will be exported. .PARAMETER FilePath Specifies the full file path of the output file. .PARAMETER WithReplace If this switch is used, databases are restored from backup using WITH REPLACE. This is useful if you want to stage some complex file paths. .PARAMETER NoRecovery If this switch is used, databases will be left in the No Recovery state to enable further backups to be added. .PARAMETER IncludeDbMasterKey Exports the db master key then logs into the server to copy it to the $Path .PARAMETER Exclude Exclude one or more objects to export Databases Logins AgentServer Credentials LinkedServers SpConfigure CentralManagementServer DatabaseMail SysDbUserObjects SystemTriggers BackupDevices Audits Endpoints ExtendedEvents PolicyManagement ResourceGovernor ServerAuditSpecifications CustomErrors ServerRoles AvailabilityGroups ReplicationSettings .PARAMETER BatchSeparator Batch separator for scripting output. "GO" by default. .PARAMETER ScriptingOption Add scripting options to scripting output for all objects except Registered Servers and Extended Events. .PARAMETER Append Append to the target file instead of overwriting. .PARAMETER EnableException 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. .NOTES Tags: Export Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website:
