      [-AllowClobber]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Export-SRConfiguration cmdlet exports the replication configuration for a computer to a Windows PowerShell .ps1 configuration script. You can use this .ps1 file as a configuration backup to reapply in event that Storage Replica settings are damaged or removed. You can also use this file to migrate settings to another computer.

Examples

Example 1: Export configuration

This command exports all replication partnership and group information to a Windows PowerShell script named sr-srv01.ps1 in the C:\temp folder. 
PS C:\>Export-SRConfiguration -Path "C:\temp\sr-srv01.ps1"
Exported 1 Storage Replica partnerships. 
Exported 2 Storage Replica groups.

This command displays the contents of the script by using the Get-Content cmdlet. 
PS C:\>Get-Content -Path "C:\temp\sr-srv01.ps1"
New-SRGroup -Computer SR-SRV01 -Name ReplicationGroup01 -VolumeName D:\ -LogVolumeName e:\ -LogSizeInBytes 8589934592
New-SRGroup -Computer SR-SRV03 -Name ReplicationGroup02 -VolumeName D:\ -LogVolumeName e:\ -LogSizeInBytes 8589934592

licationGroup02 -ReplicationMode Synchronous -PreventReplication
Write-Host Please execute Sync-SRGroup to resume replication.

-Seeded

Specifies that the destination computer contains a seeded copy of the data from the source server. Seeded data is a copy of data from the source server, such as a restored backup or copies of drives. Unused blocks also count toward seeding. This option may reduce bandwidth usage during initial replication and is likely to use more CPU and memory.
