How do I find windows backup feature on many servers?

Good day,
 I need to get the installed feature "Windows-Server-Backup" status on many servers ranging between 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2. I believe my best approach is powershell, I know the following below will work. What I need is
to have it reference a serverlist, then pipe those results of the servers in that list into a csv or txt file. Any help would be great, I am working on methods to do this on my end as well and will update if I make head way.
PS C:\> Import-Module ServerManager
PS C:\> Get-WindowsFeature windows-server-backup  | Out-File C:\Temp\WindowsFeatures.txt

Hi Jedi,
If you want to run this script on bulk computers, please refer to the script below, please also note this script needs admin privilege on the remote computers:
$servers="server1","server2","server3"
foreach($s in $servers){
Import-Module ServerManager
Get-WindowsFeature windows-server-backup -Computername $s | Out-File C:\Temp\WindowsFeatures.txt -Append}
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

  • My back up from last Thursday on my iphone 4s is not showing up in my itunes. I deleted something today & I would like to restore to last week when it was on my phone. How do I find the backup on my pc, how do I move it to itunes to restore phone back to

    My back up from last Thursday on my iphone 4s is now showing up in my itunes. I deleted something today and I need it back desperately. I need to restore my phone back to last Thursday when the information was on my phone. How do I find the backup on my pc and once I find it how do I move it to itunes for me to restore my phone to that day?

    I wished I had known this before I said yes to using icloud. I guess those things will be lost and gone forever, since I do not want to lose my present settings and data. Also do not want to go through the hassle of backing up present, then resetting phone, then restoring oldest back up, then backing up oldest backup to pc, so I can safely backup selected items to my pc; then reset my phone again to restore latest back up. It would take way too much time and no guarantee.
    I backed up my phone to my pc, but have not checked it yet, so don't know if it worked.
    If I decide to quit using icloud (which will probably happen since backing up to external hard drive allows me to open backups) what will happen to my present data and settings? Will they just remain as they were without icloud, as they were before icloud? I'm scared to just delete it; not knowing what will happen. Also why is icloud now my outgoing mail server, when my web email was before I installed icloud and how do I restore my web email as my outgoing mail server. I am using yahoo/at&t for all my mail.
    What will happen to my contacts, notes, messages, voice memos, calendar info, alerts, etc., on my phone if I delete icloud?

  • How do I find out what features are not useful in my Classifier?

    How do I find out what features are not useful in my Classifier? I am trying to trim down the number of features to speed up the training of my data, I have about 3700 features. I have found the Filter Based Feature Selection Module and have not been successful
    in using it. I have looked through all the examples and have not been able to find any examples using the module. Will the Filter Based Feature Selection Module help me to trim features. If so how do I use it?

    One way to do this would be is to use a random forest classifier. Feature/variable importance can be obtained relatively easily with random forests. 
    Here is how you may do it in R.
    > install.packages('randomForest') #install randomForest package in R if it is not already there
    > library(randomForest) # reference the library
    > data(mtcars) # load motor cars data that ships with 
    #train a random forest 
    > mtcars.rf <- randomForest(mpg ~ ., data=mtcars, ntree=1000,keep.forest=FALSE, importance=TRUE)
    > importance(mtcars.rf)
    > importance(mtcars.rf)
    #You will see an output like below
           %IncMSE IncNodePurity
    cyl  16.168645     169.96741
    disp 18.672188     260.08722

    gear  4.619161      21.55450
    carb  8.577037      28.46715
    # or plot the importance as follows
    > varImpPlot(mtcars.rf)
    What this tells you is how important predictors/features/variables like horsepower(hp), weight(wt), no. of cylinders (cyl) is in predicting miles per gallon (mpg).
    If you are wondering how the data looks like. Try this
    head(mtcars) # gives first few lines of the data set.
     mpg cyl disp  hp drat   wt ... 
    Mazda RX4     21.0   6  160 110 3.90 2.62 ...

    Datsun 710    22.8   4  108  93 3.85 2.32 ... 
    . Try this

  • I just updated my iPad. When I went to restore, there were no backups listed. How do I find past backups?

    How do I find past backups on my iPad after updating to ios8?

    Hello txdkmw,
    yes, you are right, but that's what I thought what you were asking for.
    In order to use a backup for restoring a device, you would have to completely reset the device first (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings". Then, in the course of the set up process, you will be able to choose a backup to restore your device.
    Best regards.

  • T440s: How to enable the Windows eDrive feature?

    I would like to enable the eDrive feature on my T440s to encrypt my hard drive. How can I do this?
    In order to do so,I enabled "OS optimized defaults" in the bios settingsLoaded them and saved themDid a clean install of Windows 8.1 and removed all partitions during this processInstalled all Lenovo driversInstalled all Windows updatesTried to turn on bit lockerAccording to [1] "If everything is eDrive compliant you won’t be asked whether or you want to encrypt all or part of the drive". However, I am asked whether I want to encrypt all or part of the drive!! So my questions is, what is wrong? How can I enable the eDrive feature? [1] http://www.anandtech.com/show/6891/

    lax20531
    This process below worked for me to enable the eDrive and configure HW-mode BitLocker.  Would you please try it and let me know if it works for you?  If you have any questions about these steps, let me know.
    EDIT 1/9/2014 - these steps still may not work and should be ignored for now.
    Backup your personal data, because we are getting ready to wipe the SSD to enable the eDrive function
    Create the USB Recovery Drive
    Boot the USB Recovery Drive
    Select your language and keyboard layout, as prompted
    click on "Troubleshoot"
    click on "Reset your PC"
    click on "Next", and the target operating system, as prompted
    At the screen about "Do you want to repartition the drives on your PC?", click on "Yes, repartition the drives"  <-- IMPORTANT because eDrive is only enabled when the partitions are recreated.
    Click on "Just remove my files"
    Click on "Reset"
    The PC will be restored with the contents of the USB Recovery Drive.  This will take several minutes, and the PC will reboot itself.  When the process is complete, you will be at the Win8 setup screen "Region and Language", just like when you unboxed your PC and booted it for the first time.
    Go through Win8 setup, connect to network, create your account, etc
    Open Device Manager
    Expand the category "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers"
    Double-click on "Intel 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller"
    Click on the "Driver" tab
    Click on "Update Driver"
    Click on "Browse my computer for driver software"
    Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    Click on "Standard SATA ACHI Controller" and then click on "Next"  <-- IMPORTANT since eDrive won't work with the Intel driver.  You must use the Microsoft standard driver instead.
    Click on "Close", then click on "Close" again.  Reboot as prompted.
    Open Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Update -> Check for Updates
    Download and install all available Important and Optional updates  <-- IMPORTANT because Win8 itself has some bug about BitLocker.  It is fixed in one of the updates, but I'm not sure which one.
    Repeat steps 23 and 24 until no more Windows Updates are available
    Open Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption
    Click on "Turn on BitLocker"
    Save the recovery key as prompted, then click "Next".  If you saved the recovery key on a USB drive, be sure to remove the USB drive before continuing.
    Click on "Continue" to run the the BitLocker system check
    Reboot as prompted
    BitLocker should now be running the HW mode
    To confirm it:  open a command prompt as administrator, then run "manage-bde.exe -status".  The Encryption Method should be listed as "Hardware Encryption"
     

  • How to reset (target) Windows Backup

    If I setup a brand new 2012 R2 server and setup a Backup Schedule it all works fine. As long as I NEVER touch it.
    On one machine I changed the target to a better location.
    The whole backup seems to be at the new target, I can mount the virtual drives and see everything.
    But if I point the Restore wizard at it, it sees NOTHING. No backup found.
    If I point it at the original target it's fine.
    How do you "RESET" it.

    Hi,
    How do you change the backup target?
    In Windows Server Backup we have 3 options "keep current backup destination", "add more backup destination" and "remove current backup destination". In my test I added a new destination and removed the old destination, after performing a backup, all backups
    still exist in choosing Recover - "This Server" - even the restore points in the old location I removed.

  • How to fix finder window shrink and resize issue

    Macbook pro retina 13in running 8.1. Finder window, when in full screen, changes size; shrinks from bottom of screen. After moving a file or two from one folder to another, finder window changes size; gets smaller (bottom frame moves upwards) as if the dock is occupying the space; but no dock is shown until I hover on the dock with mouse. Also, upper portion of finder window goes under title bar as seen in screenshot. Any know issues or fix?

    Greg, in addition to Scott's suggestion, when you choose "Greg" (your Home folder) are there 2 "home" folders in there or just on the sidebar? If there are 2 make sure one is empty and delete it.
    If not try this:
    Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    Then log out and back in again.
    Let us know.

  • How to make Finder window larger on opening

    May not be a matter of utmost importance, but I'd like to have the Finder window largen (at least twice as large) when openning it, than its normal default size.
    Perhaps there's an instruction to be typed in Terminal or someting...
    Is there a way to fix this?

  • How can i find missing backup on Time Machine (for Mac)?, How can i find missing backup on Time Machine (for Mac)?

    I backed up my computer on August 8th 2010 with Time Machine. I'm absolutely certain I did. But some reason there's a gap. I have a backup of my computer from just before that date, and just after that date, but August 8th is missing.
    Is there any way to recover my files from this date? What's happening? It can't have started automatically deleting files because I have backups from as far back as June 2010 (when I started using time machine).
    Thank you

    See:
    A  whole  lot  about  Time  Machine for help with TM problems.  Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM.  See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

  • How does TM find remote backup servers?

    I have an OSX10.5.3 server that wired users can see as a Time Machine backup server. This works.
    Wifi users (who are bridged onto the same wired network) can not see any remote Time Machine drives to backup to. Looks like the wifi controller (Cisco WLC) isn't forwarding some packets to the wired network.
    How does a TM client find remote servers? Can remote servers be statically configured on a client?

    There is a Find Systems VI on the Real-Time / RT Utilities / System Configuration palette that can find some things (like PXIs) on the network.

  • How do I find and backup only my most recent downloads?

    Does anyone have a better solution than mine for finding and backing-up only my most recent downloads? I'm trying to make my network backups and external hard drive backups faster, by only backing-up my incremental downloads, rather than all my music every time. I created an iTunes Music sub-folder called My Music:\2005, into which I download all new purchased music. I still add the entire My Music folder to my iTunes library, so I can play all of the files, but new downloads and CD's rip into the 2005 sub-folder. I can find my most recent files, and only back those up, as I know the other files in My Music have already been backed-up. Let me know if you have a simpler solution. Thanks.

    Thanks, Lawrence. Someone at work looked at my iTunes Preferences, I think it was, and verified that a backup had been done at 10:54AM today. (Personally, I've never looked to find a date/time stamp for this -- just took it for granted that it happened as expected!)
    Since I know now that the backup was done right before the phone froze on me, I 'risked' doing a Restore, which is taking most of half an hour. I'm pretty confident I will be up and running in a few minutes. If not, I'll be looking for a cocktail or two in a bit!
    PS: I did copy all my Photostream photos into a separate folder on iPhoto .... just in case they got wiped in the Restore.
