Windows Server Backup & Recovery Toolkit
A PowerShell-based toolkit that gives administrators a simple way to back up and restore their Windows Server FlexApp™ Packaging Console to a pristine state
Overview
The Windows Server Backup & Recovery Toolkit removes the guesswork from protecting a FlexApp Packaging Console. Instead of hand-copying configuration files and hoping nothing was missed, administrators run a single guided script that captures the full console state — settings, registration data, and package metadata — into a portable, timestamped archive.
When a rebuild is needed, the recovery routine restores that state onto fresh or existing servers, whether on-premises or in the cloud. It validates prerequisites before writing anything, so a partial or corrupt environment never overwrites a good one.
Video overview from the developer
4:18A quick walkthrough from Jason Richardson on why he built this Spark and how he uses it in the field.
What it does
One-command capture
Snapshots the entire Packaging Console configuration into a single timestamped, portable archive.
Pristine restore
Rebuilds console state on new or existing servers with pre-flight validation before any write.
Cloud & on-prem aware
Works identically across local hardware and IaaS instances — no environment-specific edits required.
Non-destructive by default
Refuses to overwrite a healthy environment unless an explicit force flag is supplied.
How it works
- 1
Download the toolkit and unblock the PowerShell module on your server.
- 2
Run Backup-FlexAppConsole to produce a timestamped .fabak archive.
- 3
Store the archive with your standard backup rotation or object storage.
- 4
On recovery, run Restore-FlexAppConsole and point it at the archive.
