Function Backup-DbaDatabase
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Backup one or more SQL Sever databases from a SQL Server SqlInstance
 
.DESCRIPTION
Performs a backup of a specified type of 1 or more databases on a SQL Server Instance.
These backups may be Full, Differential or Transaction log backups
 
.PARAMETER SqlInstance
The SQL Server instance hosting the databases to be backed up
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Credentials to connect to the SQL Server instance if the calling user doesn't have permission
 
.PARAMETER Databases
Names of the databases to be backed up. This is auto-populated from the server.
 
.PARAMETER BackupFileName
name of the file to backup to. This is only accepted for single database backups
If no name is specified then the backup files will be named DatabaseName_yyyyMMddHHmm (ie; Database1_201714022131)
with the appropriate extension.
 
If the same name is used repeatedly, SQL Server will add backups to the same file at an incrementing position
 
Sql Server needs permissions to write to the location. Path names are based on the Sql Server (c:\ is the c drive on the SQL Server, not the machine running the script)
 
.PARAMETER BackupDirectory
Path to place the backup files. If not specified the backups will be placed in the default backup location for SQLInstance
If multiple paths are specified, the backups will be stiped across these locations. This will overwrite the FileCount option
 
If path does not exist Sql Server will attmept to create it. Folders are created by the Sql Instance, and checks will be made for write permissions
 
File Names with be suffixed with x-of-y to enable identifying striped sets, where y is the number of files in the set and x is from 1 to you
 
.PARAMETER NoCopyOnly
By default function performs a Copy Only backup. These backups do not intefere with the restore chain of the database, so are safe to take.
This switch indicates that you wish to take normal backups. Be aware that these WILL break your restore chains, so use at your own risk
 
For more details please refer to this MSDN article - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191495.aspx
 
.PARAMETER Type
The type of SQL Server backup to perform.
Accepted values are Full, Log, Differential, Diff, Database
 
.PARAMETER DatabaseCollection
Internal parameter

.EXAMPLE
Backup-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance Server1 -Databases HR, Finance
 
This will perform a full database backup on the databases HR and Finance on SQL Server Instance Server1 to Server1's
default backup directory
     
.EXAMPLE
Backup-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016 -BackupDirectory C:\temp -Databases AdventureWorks2014 -Type Full
 
Backs up AdventureWorks2014 to sql2016's C:\temp folder

<#
 
[int]$FileCount = 1,
[switch]$CreateFolder,
 
.PARAMETER FileCount
Number of files to stripe each backup across if a single BackupDirectory is provided.
 
File Names with be suffixed with x-of-y to enable identifying striped sets, where y is the number of files in the set and x is from 1 to you
 
.PARAMETER CreateFolder
Switch to indicate that a folder should be created under each folder for each database if it doesn't already existing
Folders are created by the Sql Instance, and checks will be made for write permissions
 
.EXAMPLE
Backup-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance Server1 -Databases HR,Finance -Type Full -BackupDirectory \\server2\backups,\\server3\backups -CreateFolder
 
This will perform a full Copy Only database backup on the databases HR and Finance on SQL Server Instance Server1 striping the files across the 2 fileshares, creaing folders
for each database
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance localhost\sqlexpress2016 -Status Normal -Exclude tempdb | Backup-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance localhost\sqlexpress2016 -Type diff -BackupDirectory d:\backups,e:\backups -CreateFolder
 
Backs up every database in a normal start on localhost\sqlexpress2016, striping the backups across d:\backups and e:\backups for improved performance. Each DB has it's own folder under each of the backup paths
