Backup SCCM Task Sequences With Scheduled Task+Powershell

Hi All,

I needed a basic script to backup my task sequences on a schedule. Using PowerShell to back up your Task Sequences is a much faster way than manually doing it through the console.

See below code:

	<#
	.SYNOPSIS
	Backup all task sequences to disk greater than $minDate
	.DESCRIPTION
	TS backup will fail if TS name has special characters not allowed, edit sitecode and destinationpath
	.PARAMETER <Parameter_Name>
	None
	.INPUTS
	None
	.OUTPUTS
	None
	.NOTES
	Version: 4.0

	Purpose/Change: Initial script development
	.EXAMPLE
	None
	#>
	##Modify ConfigMgr Path if necessary##
	Import-Module 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin\ConfigurationManager.psd1'
	##Enter Site Code Below###
	CD XXX:
	[datetime]$minDate = "1/1/2017 00:00:00 AM"
	$ts = Get-CMTaskSequence | Where-Object {$_.SourceDate -gt $minDate}
	$time = get-date -format ddMMyyyy
	New-Item -Path "E:\Source\ITS\TSBackups\Backups\$time" -ItemType Directory
	foreach ($t in $ts){
	$path = "E:\Source\ITS\TSBackups\Backups"
	$exportname = $t.Name
	Export-CMTaskSequence -TaskSequencePackageId $t.PackageID -ExportFilePath "$path\$time\$exportname.zip" -Verbose
	}

Save the code above to a ps1 file, put on your SCCM server and set up a scheduled task to run the following command: powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file “file.ps1”

End Result:
