function Export-DbaInstance {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Exports SQL Server *ALL* database restore scripts, logins, database mail profiles/accounts, credentials, SQL Agent objects, linked servers,
        Central Management Server objects, server configuration settings (sp_configure), user objects in systems databases,
        system triggers and backup devices from one SQL Server to another.

        For more granular control, please use one of the -Exclude parameters and use the other functions available within the dbatools module.

    .DESCRIPTION
        Export-DbaInstance consolidates most of the export scripts in dbatools into one command.

        This is useful when you're looking to Export entire instances. It less flexible than using the underlying functions.
        Think of it as an easy button. Unless an -Exclude is specified, it exports:

        All database restore scripts.
        All logins.
        All database mail objects.
        All credentials.
        All objects within the Job Server (SQL Agent).
        All linked servers.
        All groups and servers within Central Management Server.
        All SQL Server configuration objects (everything in sp_configure).
        All user objects in system databases.
        All system triggers.
        All system backup devices.
        All Audits.
        All Endpoints.
        All Extended Events.
        All Policy Management objects.
        All Resource Governor objects.
        All Server Audit Specifications.
        All Custom Errors (User Defined Messages).
        All Server Roles.
        All Availability Groups.

    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instances

    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).

        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.

        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.

    .PARAMETER Credential
        Alternative Windows credentials for exporting Linked Servers and Credentials. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)

    .PARAMETER Path
        Specifies the directory where the file or files will be exported.

    .PARAMETER WithReplace
        If this switch is used, databases are restored from backup using WITH REPLACE. This is useful if you want to stage some complex file paths.

    .PARAMETER NoRecovery
        If this switch is used, databases will be left in the No Recovery state to enable further backups to be added.

    .PARAMETER IncludeDbMasterKey
        Exports the db master key then logs into the server to copy it to the $Path

    .PARAMETER Exclude
        Exclude one or more objects to export

        Databases
        Logins
        AgentServer
        Credentials
        LinkedServers
        SpConfigure
        CentralManagementServer
        DatabaseMail
        SysDbUserObjects
        SystemTriggers
        BackupDevices
        Audits
        Endpoints
        ExtendedEvents
        PolicyManagement
        ResourceGovernor
        ServerAuditSpecifications
        CustomErrors
        ServerRoles
        AvailabilityGroups
        ReplicationSettings

    .PARAMETER BatchSeparator
        Batch separator for scripting output. "GO" by default.

    .PARAMETER NoPrefix
        If this switch is used, the scripts will not include prefix information containing creator and datetime.

    .PARAMETER ExcludePassword
        If this switch is used, the scripts will not include passwords for Credentials, LinkedServers or Logins.

    .PARAMETER ScriptingOption
        Add scripting options to scripting output for all objects except Registered Servers and Extended Events.

    .PARAMETER Append
        Append to the target file instead of overwriting.

    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaInstance -SqlInstance sqlserver\instance

        All databases, logins, job objects and sp_configure options will be exported from
        sqlserver\instance to an automatically generated folder name in Documents.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaInstance -SqlInstance sqlcluster -Exclude Databases, Logins -Path C:\dr\sqlcluster

        Exports everything but logins and database restore scripts to C:\dr\sqlcluster

.EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaInstance -SqlInstance sqlcluster -Path C:\servers\ -NoPrefix

        Exports everything to C:\servers but scripts do not include prefix information.
