Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> $BLV = Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint "C:"
PS C:\> BackupToAAD-BitLockerKeyProtector -MountPoint "C:" -KeyProtectorId $BLV.KeyProtector[1].KeyProtectorId
This example saves a key protector for a specified BitLocker volume.
The first command uses Get-BitLockerVolume to obtain a BitLocker volume and store it in the $BLV variable.
The second command backs up the key protector for the BitLocker volume specified by the MountPoint parameter. The command specifies the key protector by using its ID, contained in the BitLocker object stored in $BLV.
Example 2
PS C:\> BackupToAAD-BitLockerKeyProtector -MountPoint "C:" -KeyProtectorId "{E2611001E-6AD0-4A08-BAAA-C9c031DB2AA6}"
