Restoring SharePoint Server, SharePoint Foundation, or Windows SharePoint Services

Multiple SharePoint Server resources can be restored together. The NetBackup Recovery Assistant determines the order in which the resources must be restored. You can restore any of the SharePoint resources in separate restore operations.

Note:

NetBackup does not prevent you from restoring placeholders. NetBackup also lets you restore any object that can hold a document, even if it does not contain a document.

Enable the front-end Web server to redirect restores to the SQL hosts in the farm.

A redirected restore is performed since backups are cataloged under the front-end client name for the Federated SharePoint farm.
Log on as Administrator.
Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
Choose File > Select Files and Folders to Restore > from Normal Backup.
Select the MS-SharePoint policy type.
Click OK.

NetBackup browses for SharePoint Server backup images.
From the NetBackup History pane, select the image(s) that contain the objects you want to restore:
- The last full backup, or
- The last full backup and all subsequent differential backups
In the All Folders pane, expand Microsoft SharePoint Resources.
From the Contents of pane, select the SharePoint resources to restore.

To select a database, select the parent folder in the All Folders pane and select the database in the Contents of pane.
