How to get the MSOnlineBackup Cmdlets?

Question

I am trying to manage the Azure Online Backup from PowerShell.

There is a set of Cmdlets called MSOnlineBackup. See technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249523.aspx.

When I try to run:

Import-Module MSOnlineBackup

I get:

The specified module 'MSOnlineBackup' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

On the technet page it states that it is included in 4.0.4.0, If I run:

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

It returns:

Major: 4
Minor: 0
Build: -1
Revision: -1

I am running Windows 8.1.

As you can probably tell I am no Powershell expert.

I have also tried installed the Azure Backup Agent, but it says it needs a Server operating system.

Can anyone tell me how I can get the MSOnlineBackup module on my machine so I can start automating Windows Azure Backup?

I'm assuming that you have a server where the agent is installed, and want to develop scripts against that module on your workstation, is that correct? — Trondh, Nov 12, 2013 at 19:46
Yes - I have solved this issue now using remoting. I am new to Powershell, so really didn't know where to start. — gregpakes, Nov 13, 2013 at 8:24
