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

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults

Hi Guys,   I came across this issue  today. I was totally blank. Later i started observing the issue and realised that, this issue is caused just because of  mismatch of assembly version or any attribute  in Security token service's web.config file (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebServices\SecurityToken). Actual issue was i upgraded the assembly version and didn't do changes in web.config file of security token service This blog helped me to fix my issue http://underthehood.ironworks.com/2011/05/sharepoint-2010-an-exception-occurred-when-trying-to-issue-security-token-the-server-was-unable-to-p-1.html thanks pradeepa achar
