In this tutorial, I will show you how to Backup and Restore a List or Document Library in SharePoint PowerShell. So for our example , you can see the following image:
The list in this case of interest is the ‘test’ list.
|
1 |
Export-SPWeb "http://www.domain.com/" -itemurl "/Lists/test" -path "c:\test.cmp" |
Please note the trailing slash on the URL.
Now if we deleted the list through some horrible mistake the import command is as follows.
|
1 |
Import-SPWeb "http://www.domain.com/" -Path "c:\test.cmp" |
There are various flags that can be added like ‘-force’ or ‘-UpdateVersions’.
