Windows 10 Backup with Powershell

Question

_{Friday, December 15, 2017 2:35 PM}

Hi,

I am looking for an easy solution to make a simple backup of our userprofiles (Documents, desktop, pictures ect. folders) to their personal share on our fileserver.

But i can't seem to find any policies for this, is it possible to create windows 10 backup settings via powershell?

In that way, i could setup windows 10 to backup to their own share when they logon.

Or is it better simply to setup offline folders?

(we are also considering implemeting this in our new images for sccm, but that does not help on our existing PC's)

/kind regards

I'm sorry, i hav'nt had time to look at it yet, but i will be sure to let you guys know how it goes, once i get back to the backup challenge ;)

I briefly looked at the script solutions, and im not sure it is exactly what i am looking for, but maybe i can make my own with inspiration from those scripts.

Though i had hoped for PS commands to enable the win 10 backup funktion instead. That would have been easy ;)
