Backing up and restoring Edge Transport

In the c:\Program files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts directory there exists a powershell script called ExportEdgeConfig.ps1.  You can backup your Edge Transport by executing the following command

From Exchange management shell

./ExportEdgeConfig -cloneConfigData:”c:\CloneConfigData.xml”

To restore:

./importedgeconfig -CloneConfigData:”C:\CloneConfigData.xml’ -IsImport $false -CloneConfigAnswer:”C:\CloneConfigAnswer.xml”

This will create a CloneConfigAnswer.xml file.  If everything was correct it will be blank if not you will have to modify it and import it.

./importedgeconfig -CloneConfigData:”c:CloneConfigData.xml” -IsImport $true -CloneConfigAnswer:”c:\cloneConfigAnswer.xml”
