BackupUtils PowerShell Module

This PowerShell module provides cmdlets for backup.

Features

Variables:
- backupDestRootDir
Cmdlets:
- Backup-Files
  - If srcBasePath and srcRelPath passed, then create base destination directory under the backupDestRootDir, and replicate the relative part under the base directory.
  - If only srcBasePath passed, then replicate the base file or directory just under the backupDestRootDir.
  - The destination base file or directory name is constructed by hostname + sanitized srcBasePath, to avoid collision.
- Get-FirefoxProfileDirName
  - Firefox profile directory name like xxxxxxxx.default.
- Backup-FirefoxBookmarksHTML
  - Backup %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\bookmarks.html
  - Require browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML is true.
- Backup-GoogleChromeBookmarksJSON
  - Backup %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks.
- Save-ChocolateyInstalledPackageList
  - Save Chocolatey installed package list to $(MyDocuments)\ConfigDumps\chocolatey\packages.config.
- Save-NPMGlobalInstalledPackageList
  - Save npm global installed package list to $(MyDocuments)\ConfigDumps\npm\ls.txt.
- Save-TfsLocalChangesAsShelveset
  - Shelve TFS local changes on workspaces.
