Note the following when you perform restores:

• NetBackup does not prevent you from restoring placeholders.

• NetBackup lets you restore any object that can hold a document, even it does not contain a document.

The following issues also exist for SharePoint:

• For a SharePoint survey list, after a restore the "Time Created" value reflects the value at the time of the granular restore. This behavior is by design.

• If you restore a deleted report, the report ID is incremented upon restore. If you want to maintain the original report ID value, restore the entire report container.

• NetBackup does not start a GRT restore job from a UNIX NetBackup master server. Initiate the restore job from the SharePoint client under which the backup is cataloged.

• If you use a SQL local RBS provider and want to take a SharePoint data backup, then you must create a file system policy for file-level backups of SharePoint databases on the SQL server.

  You can use this backup for database level restores (full and differential)

• When you restore a web application a new application pool is created for each restore. The original application also remains and can be deleted.
