If you do not have BMR, the general process for recovering SharePoint Server is as follows:

• Reinstall Windows and any Service Packs or Hotfixes.

• Restore System State from the backup image.

• Reinstall SharePoint Server. and any Service Packs.

• Restore the Configuration database.

  When you restore the Configuration database, restore it individually and before any other object in the farm.

• Restore all SQL databases.

• Bring the Web Application(s) or portal(s) online.

• From a SharePoint front-end server, restore each Web Application or portal separately.

  The front-end server is the client name that you specified in the MS-SharePoint backup policy.

• Wait for SharePoint to initialize storage for the Search Index.

  This may take a few minutes to occur, after you have started a newly recovered Web Application or portal.

• Restore the Search Index.
