Backup-WDServer: How to specify encryption password

Question

I read about the Web Deploy Powershell Cmdlets, and I'd like to start using them. Of course, the first task as I begin is to backup the current configuration state of my test webserver--and this cmdlet should do it:

Backup-WDServer -ConfigOnly

But, when I run it I get this complaint--I'm unsure how to resolve it:

Backup-WDServer : The property 'password' located at '/webServer/appHostConfig[@path='']/location[@path='']/section[@name='system.applicationHost/applicationPools']/applicationPools/applicationPoolDefaults/processModel' is 
marked as secure. You must specify an encryption password to archive this property.

Answer 1

I had trouble finding documentation, but after spending time with IL DASM, reading more in the link provided in the question, and experimenting, I found this works:

Backup-WDServer -SourceSettings @{encryptPassword='password'} -ConfigOnly

If anyone has a link to more complete documentation I'd appreciate it--but Bing and Google didn't find much.

Answer 2

It is an old thread however there is the answer:

Restore-WDServer -DestinationSettings @{encryptPassword='password'} -Package /path/to/the/zip/file

Answer 3

How do you set encryptpassword for the Restore-WDServer? if you did this to backup

Backup-WDServer -SourceSettings @{encryptPassword='password'} -ConfigOnly
