• |
Same version and edition of SharePoint: Ensure that the alternate SharePoint Server or Farm has the same version and edition of SharePoint as the source SharePoint Server or Farm. This requirement includes the same Service Pack and patch level. |
• |
Same farm deployment: Ensure that the alternate SharePoint Server’s or Farm’s deployment matches the deployment of the source server or farm. For example, if restoring a backup from a Single Server deployment, you can only restore to a different Single Server deployment; if restoring a Small Farm deployment, you can only restore to a different Small Farm deployment. Mismatching deployments between the source and the alternate server or farm is not currently supported. |
• |
Same domain: When restoring from a Small or Scaled-Out Farm to an alternate Small or Scaled-Out Farm, Quest recommends that both farms reside in the same network domain. It simplifies the restore process if both farms use the same domain administrator as the SharePoint administrator. |
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>\<originalURL> |
• |
<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. |
• |
<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, 2013, and 2016 terminology. |
• |

• |
Restore Full and Differential Backups to the alternate farm: On the server where the plug-in is installed in the alternate farm, run the following STSADM command to restore the Full Backup to a new configuration. |
• |
<directoryForTemporaryFiles>: Enter the UNC share path that is specified in the Configure dialog box. |
• |
<SQLserverUserName>: Specify a SQL Server user with the sysadmin server role in the DOMAIN\username format. |
• |
<password>: Enter the password associated with the user specified in the preceding field. |

<WebApplicationName>: Enter the name of the web application that you are restoring. |

Enter the name of the new SQL Server Database server. Use the Server\Instance Name format for a nondefault SQL Server Instance name. | ||
To accept the <default> SQL Server Data directory, press Enter; or enter the Data directory for the new SQL Server Instance name. | ||
To accept the <default>, press Enter, and ensure that the resulting database name matches the name for the content database of the damaged farm. |
During the restore to an alternate server or farm, STSADM maintains the Site Collection Administrator of the source server or farm. If the source server farm Site Collection Administrator differs from the alternate server or farm Site Collection Administrator, update the Site Collection Administrator for every site collection restored in the alternate server or farm. For more information, see Verifying that the Site Collection Administrator matches on the source and alternate.
The following procedure describes how to restore the SharePoint Search service to an alternate farm. For more information about the service names, see SharePoint 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 terminology.
