Best Practices

• Implement external vendors SharePoint backup and restore solutions or Microsoft’s System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 to enable enterprisewide automation of backup and restore capabilities.

• For one-off backup and restore, SharePoint 2010 administrators have a choice of either using central administration tool or SharePoint 2010 Management PowerShell.

• Consider regular scripted backups using SharePoint 2010 Management Shell and SQL Server 2008 built-in tools.

• Perform regular scripted backups of IIS7 configuration.

• Confirm that the SQL recovery model is set to Full on SharePoint databases to allow for full restores of SQL data.

• SharePoint 2010 Management Shell can be used to back up the entire farm or only business-critical site collections or sites either via one-off backups or via scheduled scripts. However, if the content is business critical, SQL Server tools can be used to back up the content database or, using SQL snapshots options, back up against the SQL snapshot.

• Simulation of recovery on regular intervals is highly recommended. This can help in plugging any shortcomings in the backup strategies and plans.
