The command is used to perform backups and restores of operating systems, drive volumes, computer files, folders, and applications from a command-line interface.
It can create a "bare metal" backup used to restore the Windows operating system to similar or dissimilar hardware.
WBAdmin also has a graphical user interface option available to simplify creation of computer backup (and restore).
The WBAdmin Management Console simplifies restoration, whether single file or multiple folders.
Using the command-line or graphical user interface, WBAdmin creates a backup which can be quickly restored using just the Windows installation DVD and the backup files located on a removable USB disk without the need to re-install from scratch.
