Restore options for SharePoint Server on the Microsoft SharePoint tab
On this tab you can choose to bring databases online after a restore job. You can also specify a different location to which to redirect a web application. The farm and the web application to which you want to redirect the restore must already exist.
Table: Microsoft SharePoint tab
Option | Description |
|---|
|
| Select this option to bring the databases online after a restore job. This option also re-establishes the link between the restored databases and their corresponding web applications. |
| If the website and the application pool for the SharePoint web
application that you restore already exists in IIS, this option
preserves them during restore. If you do not check this option,
the website and the application pool are deleted from IIS during the
restore. After they are deleted, they are recreated in the default
location that SharePoint specifies. |
| If versioning is enabled on the destination to which you
want to restore an individual item or document, select one of the
following options: NetBackup restores the existing item or document as a new version,
which makes it the most recent version of the existing
item. For example, assume that you have five versions of testfile.doc and choose to restore version 2.0 of the file. When the file is restored, it is added as testfile.doc 6.0 and is the most recent version.
NetBackup does not restore the item if an identical
item or document exists in the restore destination. NetBackup notes
that the file was skipped in the job log. NetBackup restores the existing item as a new version and deletes the existing version. For example, assume that the version history is as follows:
testfile.doc version 3.0
testfile.doc version 2.0
testfile.doc version 1.0
testfile.doc version 3 is the most recent version. If you choose to restore testfile.doc version 2.0, the restore adds testfile.doc version 4.0 and deletes testfile.doc version 2.0. So the version history appears as follows:
testfile.doc version 4.0
testfile.doc version 3.0
testfile.doc version 1.0
testfile.doc version 2.0 is now version 4.0 of the file.
The version of the restored file depends on the selected for that library or list in SharePoint.
|
| If versioning is not enabled on the destination to which you
want to restore an individual item, select one of the
following options:
NetBackup does not restore the item if an identical
item exists in the restore destination. NetBackup indicates
that the file was skipped in the log.
NetBackup replaces the existing item with the restored
item.
|
| Check this option to only restore the most recent version
of an item. Note that NetBackup restores the most recent version of the versions you selected for restore. If a more recent version exists, but you did not select it for restore that version is not restored. |
| Check this option to restore any applicable security
information with the item.
Note that security information is restored only if you select a parent folder and not when you select individual items. For example, security information is restored when you select Shared Documents, but not if you select an individual document. However, an individual object can have user permissions that are defined with a level of "limited access." In this case, permissions for those users are not restored with that object. You can restore different levels of security based on the
SharePoint item you restore: Sites User and SharePoint Group information and
security ACL are restored for top-level sites. Subsites Security ACL is restored. Lists Security ACL and other security-related
information are restored.

|
| Select this option to redirect a Web application to another Web application. In the box, specify the URL of the destination site. For example: http://URL to Web application In the box, indicate the host name of the web server to which you want to redirect. The web server must already exist on the destination location.
|
| Select only one database to redirect. If you select multiple databases, all databases are written to the target database. Select this option to redirect a web application to an alternate SQL instance. In the box, indicate the name of the target SQL Server and the target instance name. In the box, indicate the name of the target database. |

Use the following format for a UNC path: \\servername\share. |
