Validating prerequisites

Verify that the following requirements are met:

•
Services started: In the Services window, which you can access by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, verify the following; for more information about the service names, see SharePoint 2007, 2010, and 2013 terminology:
•
The SharePoint Administration service is Started.
•
If you are performing granular restores that include the Windows SharePoint Services Web Application or one or more web applications, ensure that the SharePoint Timer service is Stopped. This step avoids update conflicts during the restore job.
•
If you are restoring the SSP for a Single Server deployment, the status of the SharePoint Timer service is Started.
•
Web applications: If you are restoring web applications, content databases, or individual site collections, ensure that the web application exists. If the web application does not exist, re-create it before you perform the restore. This step ensures that the timer jobs associated with each web application are created.
1
Open SharePoint Central Administration, and select the Application Management tab.
2
In the SharePoint Web Application Management section, click Create or extend Web application.
3
In the Adding a SharePoint Web Application section, click Create a new Web application.
4
On the Create New Web Application page, enter the settings for the new web application. Ensure that the IIS web site and the Database Name match the web application as it existed on the source SharePoint deployment.
* 
IMPORTANT: Some SharePoint timer job definitions are not restored successfully when you back up a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Web application or a SharePoint Web application, and then you restore this application to a new farm. For a fix that eliminates the need to create web applications before you perform the restore to ensure that the timer jobs are created, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942989.
•
Content databases: When restoring individual site collections, confirm that the content databases where the individual site collections are stored have a status of Started in the SharePoint Central Administration utility.
1
Open SharePoint Central Administration, and select the Application Management tab.
2
In the SharePoint Web Application Management section, click Content Databases.
3
Verify that the applicable databases have a status of Started.

Selecting data for a restore

1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug‑in for SharePoint from the Plugin Type list.
3
To filter the items displayed in the saveset table further, use the Client, Date, and Job ID lists.
The table displays the saveset name (job title and saveset ID), creation date and time, and size. By default, the list is sorted alphabetically by saveset name.
The following table outlines the backup-type identifiers:
Backup type
Backup type identifier

Full Backup

STSADM FULL

Differential Backup

STSADM DIFFERENTIAL

Individual Site Collection

STSADM INDIVIDUAL SITE

4
In the saveset table, select the applicable item.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, Archive or not, saveset size, and snapshot-based backup or not.
5
Click Next.
6
On the Create Selection Set page, double-click a node to open it.
The database name is displayed when you open this node. For the File and Filegroup backup saveset, you can open the database node and select the individual files or filegroups. For other backup types, further drill-down shows items but you cannot select them.
7
Select the applicable data for inclusion in the restore procedure.
Full and Differential Backups provide the option to restore complete farms, individual web applications, or individual content databases. The Create Selection Set page for Full and Differential Backups displays all the items that are included in the backup; however, STSADM does not make all items available for granular restore selection. Items displayed without a corresponding check box are restored automatically when its parent node is selected. For example, Shared Search Index is not available for granular restore; however, it is restored when its parent SharedService1 is selected for restore. The types of SharePoint objects visible on the tab of a Full or Differential Backup are outlined in the following table:
Icon
Name

Farm

Web Service, SSP, Global Search Settings, or Search Service

Web Application, User Profile Application, Session State Shared Application, Search Shared Application, or Search Service Instance

Configuration, Shared Service, Shared Search, or Content Database

When performing granular restores with Full and Differential Backups, ensure that the node for the individual item being restored is selected. For example, if you want to restore an individual web application, navigate the tree to the applicable web application name, and select the web application's node. When properly selected, the Web Application node has a large green check mark with white background.
Do not select a parent node and exclude individual sub nodes with a red X. This combination causes the restore job to fail because STSADM does not allow you to restore a parent node without restoring all the sub- or child nodes.
Individual Site Collection backups provide the option to restore all the site collections included in a backup or just a subset.

Setting restore options

On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and configure the following parameters — these options are available for all VSS backup types:

•
The following options are available for Full and Differential Backups:
•
Restore Files from Backup Only: If you want the backup package for the selected saveset restored to the specified Directory for Temporary Files for use in advanced restore scenarios, select this option. For more information, see Using other restore procedures.
•
SQL Server User Name: 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.
•
The following options are available for Individual Site Collection backups:
•
Restore Files from Backup Only: If you want the backup package for the selected saveset restored to the specified Directory for Temporary Files for use in advanced restore scenarios, select this option. For more information, see Using other restore procedures.
•
Overwrite Existing: If you want to overwrite the existing configuration when restoring Individual Site Collection backups to the same or alternate server or farm, select this option. When this option is cleared, the individual site collection cannot exist in the destination server or farm; otherwise, the restore job fails.

Finalizing and submitting the job

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

1
To save the settings, click Ok, and then click Next.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting.
Specify a detailed title that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. There is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
3
In the Target Client list, select the machine on which you want to restore the data.
* 
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
4
Use the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
5
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
* 
IMPORTANT: If you selected multiple items for restore, multiple STSADM restores are performed consecutively in the same plug-in restore job. When reviewing the NetVault Backup job logs, review the entire log when searching for errors or warnings. The STSADM status near the end of the logs only reflects the status of the last STSADM restore.
