This Learning Note documents an example of using Windows PowerShell to export a site, list, or document library manually.<\/p>\n

Preparations<\/span><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>1. Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator.<\/p>\n

2. Before you begin, create a folder on the local computer or the network to store the backups.<\/p>\n

Actions<\/span><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>1. On the Start <\/strong>menu, click All Programs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>3. Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:<\/p>\n

Export-SPWeb -Identity <Site URL> -Path <Path and file name> [-ItemUrl <URL of site, list, or library>] [-IncludeUserSecurity] [-IncludeVersions] [-NoFileCompression] [-GradualDelete] [-Verbose]<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>I ran the above command in the below steps for the clearer understanding. ^_^<\/p>\n

(1) Input Export-SPWeb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(2) Specify the Identity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(3) Specify the Path.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>5. Waiting for the command to complete, the backups should be in the target folder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note<\/span><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the <Site URL><\/strong>, <Path and file name><\/strong>, or <URL of site, list, or library><\/strong> contain any spaces, you must surround these in double quotes (“”)<\/strong> or else the Windows PowerShell command will return errors.<\/p>\n

This is only a short learning note. For more information, please see<\/p>\n
