How SPOR Works with Instant Access

Before you can start using SPOR in your recovery efforts, DPX must create at least one base backup of a SharePoint volume. When you select a SharePoint volume for backup, it automatically includes a backup of each SQL content database hosted on that volume, including all .MDF, .LDF and/or .NDF database files.

Note. The first backup process transfers all existing data from the volume. Any subsequent incremental backups will only transfer data for block-level changes to that volume.

Using the Instant Access feature, you can mount any valid, block-level backup to a SPOR-enabled Windows node; using SPOR, you can access that volume, open the content database, and retrieve individual SharePoint objects.
