.PARAMETER SqlServer
The SQL Server instance.
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted.
 
.PARAMETER Path

.EXAMPLE
Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer sql2016 -Path S:\backups\mydb\mydb.bak
 
Logs into sql2016 using Windows authentication and reads the local file on sql2016, S:\backups\mydb\mydb.bak.
     
If you are running this command on a workstation and connecting remotely, remember that sql2016 cannot access files on your own workstation.
 
.EXAMPLE
Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer sql2016 -Path \\nas\sql\backups\mydb\mydb.bak, \\nas\sql\backups\otherdb\otherdb.bak
 
Logs into sql2016 and reads two backup files - mydb.bak and otherdb.bak. The SQL Server service account must have rights to read this file.
     
.EXAMPLE
Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer . -Path C:\temp\myfile.bak -Simple
     
Logs into the local workstation (or computer) and shows simplified output about C:\temp\myfile.bak. The SQL Server service account must have rights to read this file.
 
.EXAMPLE
$backupinfo = Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer . -Path C:\temp\myfile.bak
$backupinfo.FileList
     
Displays detailed information about each of the datafiles contained in the backupset.
 
.EXAMPLE
Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer . -Path C:\temp\myfile.bak -FileList
     
Also returns detailed information about each of the datafiles contained in the backupset.
 
.EXAMPLE
"C:\temp\myfile.bak", "\backupserver\backups\myotherfile.bak" | Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer sql2016
 
Similar to running Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer sql2016 -Path "C:\temp\myfile.bak", "\backupserver\backups\myotherfile.bak"
     
.EXAMPLE
Get-ChildItem \\nas\sql\*.bak | Read-DbaBackupHeader -SqlServer sql2016
 
Gets a list of all .bak files on the \\nas\sql share and reads the headers using the server named "sql2016". This means that the server, sql2016, must have read access to the \\nas\sql share.
