Configuring the granular proxy host for Federated SharePoint configurations with VMware
For a VMware backup that protects Federated SharePoint configurations, you need to configure the back-end SQL server as the granular restore proxy host for the catalog hosts (front-end servers in the farm). You can perform this configuration on the master server from the NetBackup Administration Console or from the command line.
To specify the SharePoint granular restore proxy host from the NetBackup Administration Console
- On the master server, open the NetBackup Administration Console.
- Expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Clients.
- In the right pane, right-click on the client and select Properties.
- In the left pane, expand Windows Client and click SharePoint.
- In the SharePoint granular restore proxy host box, type the name of the SQL back-end host.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- Repeat this configuration for all servers in the SharePoint farm.
To specify the SharePoint granular restore proxy host from the command line
- Use the following command to indicate the granular proxy host that you want to use:
bpclient -add -client SharePoint front-end server -granular_proxy SQL back-end server
To verify that the granular restore proxy host is set, use the following command:
bpclient -client SharePoint front-end server -G
