Verify that the following requirements are met:
• |
Web application created: When restoring individual site collections, ensure that the web application that the individual site collection belongs to exists. If the web application does not exist, re-create the web applications before you perform the restore. This step ensures that the timer jobs associated with each web application are created. If a different Database Name is provided for the web application, it results in two content databases being attached to the web application after completion of the restore job. For more information, see Re-creating the web applications. |
• |
New content database created: To rename or relocate an individual site collection during the restore, a new content database is required. |

• |
<newURL>: Enter the new URL for the site collection in the format: http:\\<newWebApplication>\<newURL> |
• |
<fileName>: Enter the name of the Individual Site Collection backup file stored in the <directoryForTemporaryFiles>\nvsprestore directory as specified in the NetVault Backup restore job log. |
Verify that the following requirements are met:
• |
Web applications created: Before performing the restore, create the web applications in the alternate farm. This step ensures that the timer jobs associated with each web application are created. When creating the web application, ensure that the Load Balanced URL provided for the new web application matches the URL of the web application being restored. On the alternate farm, perform the steps outlined in Re-creating the web applications. |
• |
• |
Content databases deleted: To ensure that the names of content databases for the new farm match the names of the content databases for the source farm, delete all content databases for the web application that you are restoring. For more information, see Deleting content databases. |
• |
SharePoint Timer stopped: On the server where the plug-in is installed in the alternate farm, use the Services window in the Windows Control Panel to ensure that the status of the SharePoint Timer service is Stopped. This step avoids update conflicts during the restore job. For more information about the service names, see SharePoint 2007, 2010, and 2013 terminology. |

For more information, see Verifying that the Site Collection Administrator matches on the source and alternate. |
Verify that the following requirements are met:
• |
SSP must not exist: If an SSP with the same title as the SSP being restored to the alternate server or farm exists, the restore job fails. Rename or delete the existing SSP in the alternate server or farm before submitting the restore job. |
• |
SSP Administration Site Host Web Application created: Re-create the SSP Administration site host web application in the alternate server or farm before you complete a restore, so that the timer jobs associated with the web application are created. (On the alternate farm, perform the steps outlined in Re-creating the web applications.) For example, if the NetVault Backup log for the backup job included the following tree for SharePoint 2007, the following SSP web applications must be created: Web Application Name: SharePoint - 47807; Database Name: SharedServicesContent |
• |
Shared Services Provider Administration Site Host Content Database deleted: To ensure that the name of the SSP Administration Site Host content databases for the new server or farm matches the name of the content databases for the source server or farm, ensure that the content database just created is deleted with the SQL Server Management Studio. |
