See Limitations and conditions for restores that use SharePoint Granular Recovery Technology (GRT).

Step 2

On all SQL Server back-end servers, configure the NetBackup services log on accounts:

  • NetBackup Client Service as the SharePoint administrator

  • NetBackup Legacy Network Service as the Local System account

  • (Optional) NetBackup Legacy Client Service as the Local System account

See Configuring the logon account for the NetBackup Client Service for NetBackup for SharePoint Server .

See Configuring the logon account for the NetBackup Legacy Network Service and the NetBackup Legacy Client Service.

Step 3

On each SharePoint server in the farm assign the local security privileges.

See Configuring local security privileges for the SharePoint Servers.

Granular recovery is automatically provided for a VMware backup that protects SharePoint Server. You do not need to enable it in the policy.
