Using the SharePoint Agent with SharePoint Portal Server 2001

You can back up and restore the SharePoint Portal Server, an entire SharePoint workspace, or the individual documents that are contained in the SharePoint workspaces. If you choose to back up the individual documents, you can quickly restore them without restoring the entire SharePoint Portal Server.

When you are backing up the SharePoint Portal Server, the SharePoint Agent includes the following data in the backup:

Microsoft Web Storage System files
Microsoft Search Service (MSSearch) system resources, which include the property store, subscriptions store, full-text index files, and propagated indexes
SharePoint Portal Server configuration information, including Web Storage System configuration information, content source information, server properties, and access accounts
The Applications folder, which contains a subfolder for each workspace on the server
Shortcuts or content sources that reference the local file system
Individual objects that are contained in the content databases

SharePoint Agent does not back up the following data:

Content source crawls (a content source is a URL that SharePoint Portal Server uses as a starting point to search, or crawl, for content in documents stored outside the workspace) scheduled using Microsoft Windows 2000 Scheduled Tasks
Scheduled tasks for processing subscriptions
Gatherer logs
Lotus Notes configuration information

For more information about the various types of data stored on SharePoint Portal Server, see your Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server documentation.

Note:

SharePoint Portal Server is available only for Windows 2000.
