Overview
This section contains information for the backup and restore of Windows SharePoint Services.
Windows SharePoint Services protection concepts
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services is a free component of certain Windows Server operating
systems. Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server is a web-based collaboration application that runs on
Microsoft Windows and uses SharePoint Services. SharePoint Services uses a Microsoft SQL Server
database for storing data and metadata. The version of SQL Server depends upon the installation and
whether SharePoint Portal Server is installed. Windows SharePoint Services uses a special version of
MSDE, known as SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (Windows) or WMSDE. If SharePoint Portal Server is
installed, SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) or SQL Server 2000 is used instead.
Data Protector Express will automatically discover all SharePoint Services databases and manage them for
backup and recovery as separate objects. Backing up an entire system will also include those databases.
If you are using Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, you need to use
the Data Protector Express Agent for Microsoft SQL Server to protect the SQL Server database.
Protecting Windows SharePoint Services
Data Protector Express is designed specifically to protect the databases of Windows SharePoint Services.
These databases will appear in the Data Protector Express Administrator GUI with the name of the
database instance. This name will depend on the version of SharePoint Services that is installed.
When using SharePoint 2.0 "SHAREPOINT" is the default name. When using SharePoint Services 3.0,
"Microsoft ##SSEE" is the default name. In addition to storing Web site content in a WMSDE/SSEE
SQL database, Windows SharePoint Services stores certain files including Windows SharePoint Services
virtual server configuration, style sheets (CSS), themes, and customization information for site definitions
are stored in the SharePoint installation directory on the file system.
Regular backups of the "SHAREPOINT" databases in conjunction with File System backup will ensure
protection and integrity of SharePoint Services virtual servers, the document repository, users, security
settings, and permissions.
