Syntax:

Below is the syntax of the Export-AzResourceGroup Azure PowerShell cmdlet.

Export-AzResourceGroup

Export-AzResourceGroup

Let’s discuss a few examples of the implementation.

Example-1:

You can run the below Azure PowerShell cmdlet and provide the resource group name.

After executing the above command, it will prompt you to provide the name of your resource group.

Or, you can directly execute the below Azure PowerShell cmdlet with resourceGroup as a parameter.

Export-AzResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName "MyNewResGrp"

After executing the above command, I got the below output.

PS C:\Users\Bijay> Export-AzResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName "MyNewResGrp"

Path                           
----                           
C:\Users\Bijay\MyNewResGrp.json

When I navigated to the above path, I found the resource group in the JSON file format.

Example-2:

You can also use the below Azure PowerShell cmdlet to export a resource that belongs to a specific resource group.

Export-AzResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName "MyNewResGrp" -Resource "/subscriptions/5f43547b-1d2d-4a3e-ace4-88d4b600d568/resourceGroups/TestGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/TsinfoVM"
