The backup functionality in StoragePoint allows the backup of BLOB stores. They are stored on the backup endpoint associated with the profile.
Here are the steps to configure StoragePoint backup functionality.
Managing Storage and Backup Endpoints
Click the Storage and backup endpoints link on the Application Management page in SharePoint Central Administration.
Creating a new Backup Endpoint
1. Click the Create New Endpoint link.
2. Complete the fields as appropriate.
3. For assistance on configuring each type of adapter, select the adapter from the dropped and click the help symbol. This document will show the complete steps for configuring a backup endpoint.
Editing an Existing Backup Endpoint
While certain aspects of an active storage endpoint can be modified, one should take care when performing this operation as content can become irretrievable.
NOTE: Compression and encryption settings on an active storage endpoint cannot be changed. These fields will be disabled. To change these settings, run the Recall or Migration job to move content back into the content database or to another endpoint (decompressing and decrypting it along the way), create a new endpoint with new settings, and then run the Externalize or Migrate job to move the content out of the content database. So plan accordingly.
1. Open the endpoint by clicking its name on the Storage and Backup Endpoints page.
2. Make the necessary changes. See the chart in the specific adapter guide for clarification on fields.
3. If changes are made to the Adapter or Connection property in the Storage Settings section there will be a warning about the possibility of content becoming irretrievable.
4. Click Save to apply the changes.
Delete or Retire an Existing Backup Endpoint
While safeguards are in place to prevent externalized content from becoming irretrievable, deleting a storage endpoint is still an operation that should be carefully planned and executed.
1. Open the endpoint by clicking its name on the Storage and Backup Endpoints page.
2. Click Delete. Storage endpoints that are associated with a Storage Profile cannot be deleted, and if attempted will return a message like this:
3. If there are other endpoints that can be used for that profile, the endpoint can be retired. Select a Successor Endpoint from the dropped, and click Retire. Selecting a successor endpoint won’t be visible if there are not any profiles using the endpoint. A bulk migration job will be performed automatically to move BLOBs from the retired endpoint to the selected successor endpoint, for each profile affected. The endpoint will be in a retiring state while this is going on.
4. If the endpoint can be deleted, it will be, and the Storage and Backup Endpoints page will load. Deleting an endpoint makes all content on that endpoint read only.
