Copy an export policy via PowerShell

rcharlie — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:25:26 GMT

I have a customer that has asked for a script to make a backup copy of their export policies every night (and keep 30 days).

I told them this would be easy - until I had a problem finding a cmdlet to make a copy of an export policy. We can copy an export policy through the command line. But I can't find the equivalent PowerShell commands to do this. Am I missing something with the *-NCExportPolicy cmdlets?

(Just the same, we can copy quota policies via the command line and through the copy-ncquotapolicy cmdlet. Is there an equivalent for export policies?)

^^ I learned to not say "yes i can do that easily" with cDOT cmdlets b/c the 7-mode cmdlets i found were easily to adapt too.

If you make headway, let me know.

There are some scripts for export/backup of export and share policies here. At the core, you need to use the Get-NcExportPolicy and Get-NcExportPolicyRule cmdlets.
