A standard restore with the plug-in includes the steps outlined in the following topics.
IMPORTANT: If appropriate, you have the option using a Full Backup to restore only your web applications. To restore a Full Backup, you must be a member of the Administrators group. If you do not have administrator permissions, you can only restore data from the Web Application for which you do have permission. If you initiate a restore job for which you do not have the applicable permissions, NetVault Backup displays a “Restore Failed” status. The NetVault Backup binary logs list a “STSADM failed” error message. Although the status implies that the restore failed to complete, any data for which you do have the correct permissions is restored. |
Verify that the following requirements are met:

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. |
