Chapter 10. Backing Up and Restoring a SharePoint Environment
In This Chapter
• Backing Up and Recovering SharePoint Components
• Using the Recycle Bin for Recovery
• Using SharePoint Central Administration for Backup and Restore
• Performing Granular Backup Using the SharePoint Central Administration
• Restoring SharePoint Using SharePoint Central Administration
• Using SharePoint 2010 Management PowerShell for Backup and Restore
A SharePoint document management and collaboration environment is a critical component, on par with mail in terms of criticality for many organizations. The ability to perform comprehensive backup and restore of a SharePoint 2010 environment is subsequently a critical requirement as part of an enterprise disaster recovery strategy.
SharePoint 2010 includes a wide variety of tools that provide for backup and restore, which can sometimes be confusing. These tools are powerful, but in many cases overlap, and it is not immediately obvious how to use them.
This chapter focuses on the built-in tools provided for Backup and Restore of a SharePoint 2010 environment. Specific guidance around usage of these tools is given, and recommended backup routines are provided.
