• GUI to create/edit XML and create scheduled task. (Coming in v3.0)
• Inclusion of FAST Search backup. (Coming in v3.0)
• Compatibility with SharePoint 2013. (Coming in v3.0)

Requirements:

• SharePoint Server 2010/SharePoint Foundation 2010.
• PowerShell v2.0.
• Local attached storage or network storage.
• Shared folder (at this time this must be created manually).

When backing up your SharePoint 2010 farm you must take into account the following:

• Central Admin app pool account must have read/write access to the location of the backups.
• SQL Service account must have read/write access to the location of the backups.
• When running a farm backup from STSADM or Windows PowerShell, the account you're running it as must have read/write access to the location of the backups.
• The location must be accessible from the SharePoint machine the backup is running on.
• The location must be accessible from the SQL instance that SharePoint is trying to back up.

Note: This is why all the examples are UNCs, \\server\share and not local paths,C:\backups
Installation:

• Create a directory for the files (e.g. C:\Farm-Backup)
• Place the Farm-Backup.bat, Farm-Backup.ps1 and params.xml files in the directory.
• Edit the XML configuration file with desired options.
• To run the script execute the Farm-Backup.bat.
• To automate the time and frequency of the script, schedule the script in Task Scheduler.

Limitations:

• At present this script MUST be run on a SharePoint server.
• At present the Backup Share must be manually created.

IMPORTANT: If you host Central Admin and UPS on the same server, then you MUST ensure your farm admin account remains in the local admins group on the server running the UPS and an IISRESET is performed following the backup. For more info:
