function Export-DbaInstance {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Exports SQL Server *ALL* databases, logins, database mail profiles/accounts, credentials, SQL Agent objects, linked servers,
            Central Management Server objects, server configuration settings (sp_configure), user objects in systems databases,
            system triggers and backup devices from one SQL Server to another.
 
            For more granular control, please use one of the -Exclude parameters and use the other functions available within the dbatools module.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Export-DbaInstance consolidates most of the export scripts in dbatools into one command.
 
            This is useful when you're looking to Export entire instances. It less flexible than using the underlying functions.
            Think of it as an easy button. Unless an -Exclude is specified, it exports:
 
            All databases.
            All logins.
            All database mail objects.
            All credentials.
            All objects within the Job Server (SQL Agent).
            All linked servers.
            All groups and servers within Central Management Server.
            All SQL Server configuration objects (everything in sp_configure).
            All user objects in system databases.
            All system triggers.
            All system backup devices.
            All Audits.
            All Endpoints.
            All Extended Events.
            All Policy Management objects.
            All Resource Governor objects.
            All Server Audit Specifications.
            All Custom Errors (User Defined Messages).
            All Server Roles.
            All Availability Groups.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            The target SQL Server instances
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER Credential
            Alternative Windows credentials for exporting Linked Servers and Credentials. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER Path
            The path to the export file
 
        .PARAMETER NetworkShare
            Specifies the network location for the backup files. The SQL Server service accounts on both Source and Destination must have read/write permission to access this location.
 
        .PARAMETER WithReplace
            If this switch is used, databases are restored from backup using WITH REPLACE. This is useful if you want to stage some complex file paths.
 
        .PARAMETER NoRecovery
            If this switch is used, databases will be left in the No Recovery state to enable further backups to be added.
 
        .PARAMETER IncludeDbMasterKey
            Exports the db master key then logs into the server to copy it to the $Path
 
        .PARAMETER Exclude
            Exclude one or more objects to export
 
            Databases
            Logins
            AgentServer
            Credentials
            LinkedServers
            SpConfigure
            CentralManagementServer
            DatabaseMail
            SysDbUserObjects
            SystemTriggers
            BackupDevices
            Audits
            Endpoints
            ExtendedEvents
            PolicyManagement
            ResourceGovernor
            ServerAuditSpecifications
            CustomErrors
            ServerRoles
            SupportDbs
            AvailabilityGroups
            ReplicationSettings
 
        .PARAMETER BatchSeparator
            Batch separator for scripting output. "GO" by default.
 
        .PARAMETER ScriptingOption
            Add scripting options to scripting output for all objects except Registered Servers and Extended Events.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

        .EXAMPLE
            Export-DbaInstance -SqlInstance sqlserver\instance
 
            All databases, logins, job objects and sp_configure options will be exported from
            sqlserver\instance to an automaticallyl generated folder name in Documents.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Export-DbaInstance -SqlInstance sqlcluster -Exclude Databases, Logins -Path C:\dr\sqlcluster
 
            Exports everything but logins and database restore scripts to C:\dr\sqlcluster
