In the context of SharePoint Server 2010 administration, it supersedes the Stsadm.exe administration tool. Windows PowerShell provides both a general command-line interface and a SharePoint-specific add-in tool called the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. SharePoint Backup and Restore Cmdlets There are over 500 SharePoint-related cmdlets for performing various tasks such as getting, creating, configuring, and deleting on various SharePoint objects such as sites, site collections, Web applications, and service applications. Each object has several specifically related commands. Of these SharePoint-related cmdlets, several have been designed to cover major backup and restore operations, and they include: MCT USE ONLY.
