Description

Step 1

Review the information for configuring the backup and the restore operations that use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT).

GRT lets you restore individual documents, etc., from a database backup. GRT is an option limited to certain versions of SharePoint Server and Windows Server. GRT is included in VMware backups that protect SharePoint.

See Configuring a SharePoint backup that uses Granular Recovery Technology (GRT).

Step 2

Configure the NetBackup Client Service.

Required if you want to restore individual items with GRT.

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

Step 3

Configure the NetBackup Legacy Network Service and (optionally) the NetBackup Legacy Client Service.

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

Step 4

Configure the host properties for SharePoint clients.

See Configuring SharePoint client host properties.

Step 5

Configure the mappings for distributed application restores.

Map the application hosts and component hosts in your environment. Configure these mappings in the Distributed application restore mapping host property on the primary server.

See Configuring mappings for restores of a distributed applications, clusters, or virtual machines .

Step 6

On the NetBackup server, review the auto-discovered mappings for the hosts in your environment.

Approve each valid auto-discovered mapping that NetBackup discovers in your environment.

See Reviewing the auto-discovered mappings.

Select the backup and the recovery strategies that fit your environment.

See About backup policies for granular backup and recovery of SharePoint Server .
