function Get-DbaBackupDevice {
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Gets SQL Backup Device information for each instance(s) of SQL Server.
         
    .DESCRIPTION
        The Get-DbaBackupDevice command gets SQL Backup Device information for each instance(s) of SQL Server.
         
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function
        to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
         
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
         
    .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.
