The Export-SRConfiguration cmdlet exports the replication configuration for a computer to a Windows PowerShell .ps1 configuration script.
You can use this .ps1 file as a configuration backup to reapply in event that Storage Replica settings are damaged or removed.
You can also use this file to migrate settings to another computer.
Examples
Example 1: Export configuration
This command exports all replication partnership and group information to a Windows PowerShell script named sr-srv01.ps1 in the C:\temp folder.
PS C:\>Export-SRConfiguration -Path "C:\temp\sr-srv01.ps1"
Exported 1 Storage Replica partnerships.
Exported 2 Storage Replica groups.
This command displays the contents of the script by using the Get-Content cmdlet.
PS C:\>Get-Content -Path "C:\temp\sr-srv01.ps1"
New-SRGroup -Computer SR-SRV01 -Name ReplicationGroup01 -VolumeName D:\ -LogVolumeName e:\ -LogSizeInBytes 8589934592

-Seeded
Specifies that the destination computer contains a seeded copy of the data from the source server.
Seeded data is a copy of data from the source server, such as a restored backup or copies of drives.
Unused blocks also count toward seeding.
