Protecting a
SharePoint Server
The SharePoint databases will be protected by default and the Application Manager can be used to
extend the target web front-end into the source SharePoint configuration.
To configure protection for your SharePoint servers using Application Manager, you will complete the
following steps:
1. Configure each source as a Windows member server.
2. Install Microsoft SQL Server on each source that will be used as a back-end server.
3. Install and configure Windows SharePoint Services (WSS 3.0) or Microsoft Office SharePoint
Server (MOSS 2007) on each source that will be used as a front-end server, according to
Microsoft guidelines.
4. Configure each Windows 2003 target as a member server in the same Active Directory ® domain
or trusted domain environment as the source.
5. Install SQL on the target, verifying that the locations for the SQL installation and the location of
the data and log files for the target are the same as the source. Apply the same SQL service
packs or patches as were installed on the source. Use the default installation options for SQL
with the following considerations:

The target must be a unique installation (that is, two separate SQL servers must be available
for a protection pair)

Logical drive mapping must be the same on the source and target and must assigned prior to
running the Application Manager.
6. Install WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 on the target server, but DO NOT configure it if you want to use
Storage Mirroring Application Manager to extend the target into the Web Farm.
NOTE: For SQL Server 2000, Microsoft recommends that all service packs be installed
independently for each source and target instance. This ensures that operating
system files and registry entries are applied appropriately.
