SharePoint farm backup using PowerShell script

Being SharePoint administrator, taking the backup of farm is the basic need in SharePoint administration.
Using the Powershell script we can take the backup of entire SharePoint Farm.

 Following is the powershell script to take the backup of entire sharepoint farm


          Backup -SPFarm -Directory D:SharePointSIteBackUp -BackupMethod full
In the above script, D:SharePointSIteBackUp is the backup location on hard disk. Here i have create a folder called SharePointSiteBackup inside the D drive. Most important thing is, Do not provide any space or special characters between the words while giving name to the backup folder. Because while running the script, it gives an error. So folder name should be without space. 


This may help someone
