Viewing Backup History

To view the backup history of a system, follow these steps:

1. Log on to the Windows Server 2012 system with an account with administrator privileges and open a command window.

2. Type wbadmin.exe Get Versions and press Enter to list the backup history.

To perform the same task using Windows PowerShell, follow these steps:

1. Open a Windows PowerShell window and type Get-WbBackupSet and press Enter. If the cmdlet cannot be located, you might first need to add in the module by typing import-module WindowsServerBackup and pressing Enter.

2. To get a list of all WindowsServerBackup PowerShell cmdlets, type get-command – module WindowsServerBackup and press Enter.
