Redirecting individual SharePoint items to a file path

You can redirect individual SharePoint items to a file path. These items include the restore of SharePoint document sets, documents, images, lists and list items, and their versions. Individual items can only be redirected to a file location, not another content database.

  1. Log on as Administrator.

  2. Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.

  3. Choose File > Select Files and Folders to Restore > from Normal Backup.

  4. Select the MS-SharePoint policy type.

  5. From the NetBackup History pane, select the full backup image that contains the objects you want to restore. You can not restore individual items from a backup that did not use Granular Recovery Technology.

  7. Select the documents, images, lists, or list items you want to redirect.

  8. Select Actions > Restore.

  11. Click Individual SharePoint sites, documents, lists, or items.

  12. Click Redirect to path.

    \\servername\share

    More information is available on other available restore options.

  14. Click Start Restore.
