Restoring SharePoint 2003 resources

You can restore the following resources:

Portal sites and their associated databases: each portal site has a minimum of three databases: Content databases, Services databases, and User Profile databases. Symantec recommends that you restore these databases together to preserve the topology.
Windows SharePoint Services sites and their associated databases
Document library stores (Web Storage System-based)
Individual documents that are contained in Document or Picture libraries (Web Storage System-based or Microsoft SQL Server-based)
Sites and sub-sites

Individual objects and their versions can be restored from full database backups.
Lists and list items

Individual objects can be restored from full database backups.

See the Microsoft SharePoint documentation for more information about lists and list items.
Configuration databases: the Configuration database contains all of the configuration information for the entire SharePoint Server farm. Use caution when restoring this database because any changes made to the farm topology after the backup from which you are restoring will be lost. For more information, refer to the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 documentation. You can only restore Configuration databases back to the original location.
Single sign-on databases: you can only restore Single Sign-on databases back to the original location.

To restore SharePoint resources

On the navigation bar, click the arrow next to Restore.
Click New Restore Job.
On the Properties pane, under Source, click Selections.
Select the full and differential backup sets that correspond to the SharePoint data you want to restore.

If you restore the SharePoint resources for a portal site in one job, the Index database is restored last. If you are restoring in separate jobs, you must restore the Index database last.
On the Properties pane, under Settings, click Microsoft SharePoint.

Select the appropriate options as follows:

Bring restored databases online	Select this option to bring the databases online after a restore job.
Reconnect previous database links	When restoring portal sites or Windows SharePoint Services sites, this option re-establishes the link between the restored databases and their corresponding sites.
Release the lock on the SharePoint farm topology if it is set (SharePoint 2003 only)	Check this option to have Backup Exec release the lock on the SharePoint farm topology before you run the backup or restore operation. Because another application may have locked the topology, you should check with your SharePoint administrator before you select this option.
Preserve existing Internet Services (IIS) Web site and application pool (SharePoint 2007 only).	Do not check this option when you restore SharePoint 2003 resources.
If versioning is enabled on the restore destination	If versioning is enabled on the destination to which you want to restore an individual item, select one of the following options: Add as a new version Backup Exec restores the existing item as a new version, which makes it the most recent version of the existing item. Skip if the item exists Backup Exec does not restore the item if an identical item exists in the restore destination. Backup Exec notes that the file was skipped in the job log. Restore over existing items Backup Exec replaces the existing item with the restored item.
If versioning is not enabled on the restore destination	If versioning is not enabled on the destination to which you want to restore an individual item, select one of the following options: Skip if the item exists Backup Exec does not restore the item if an identical item exists in the restore destination. Backup Exec notes that the file was skipped in the job log. Restore over existing items Backup Exec replaces the existing item with the restored item.
Restore only the most recent version of an item	Check this option to only restore the most recent version of an item.
Include security information	Check this option to restore any applicable security information with the item. You can restore different levels of security based on the SharePoint item you restore: Sites - User and SharePoint Group information and security ACL are restored for top-level sites Sub-sites - Security ACL is restored Lists - Security ACL and other security-related information is restored
