Microsoft Sharepoint Server Restore
This restore mode allows the restoration of Microsoft SharePoint Server data from backups created with DPX. The process is designed to be flexible, enabling the recovery of entire SharePoint farms, individual site collections, or specific items to their original location or a new one.
Creating a Sharepoint Server Restore Job
In the main web interface view, go to Job Manager in the sidebar. Then select the New Restore Job button.
Select Application Restore and Click Next.
The Object to Restore view shows all Application nodes that you backed up. The available objects to restore can be sorted by Name, Type, associated Job Name, or the backup Date/Time. Locate and select the node containing the Sharepoint Server you want to restore and click Next.
Tip. Restoring a Sharepoint object will include all local volumes referenced by the object, potentially increasing the restore size.
Choose the appropriate recovery point from the available backups of the selected node.
In the File Browsing step, choose the specific databases you wish to restore. DPX allows for granular selection, enabling you to restore individual databases. Select all databases you want to restore and click Next.
In the Options step, specify the Job Name. The name may be up to 64 characters long and may only contain letters, digits and
