Synopsis
Copies the agent’s service folder to a Backup subdirectory alongside the agent installation path, and exports all registry keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\LabTech to a .reg file. The registry export is re-keyed to HKLM\SOFTWARE\LabTechBackup and imported, making it readable by Get-LTServiceInfoBackup.
Run this command before Uninstall-LTService or Redo-LTService to preserve the current configuration so the agent can be reinstalled with the same settings.
The cmdlet writes a terminating error and stops if the agent installation path or registry keys cannot be located. Verify the agent is installed before running this command.
Syntax
New-LTServiceBackup [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Output

The backup is written to:
| Item | Location |
|---|
| Agent service folder | <BasePath>Backup\ |
| Registry export | <BasePath>Backup\LTBackup.reg |
| Registry import path | HKLM\SOFTWARE\LabTechBackup |
Examples
