7 Protecting a SharePoint Server
SharePoint configuration workflow
The Application Manager can be used to extend the target web front-end into the source SharePoint
configuration. The SharePoint databases will be protected by default.
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.
NOTE: For SQL Server 2005, 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.
3. Install and configure Windows SharePoint Services (WSS 3.0) or 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 Storage Mirroring on each source and target SQL back-end server using the installation defaults. See
the Storage Mirroring Getting Started guide for details.
6. Install SQL on the target, verifying that the installation location for the target is the same as the source.
Apply the same SQL service packs or patches as the source. Use the default installation options for SQL
with the following considerations:
• The target must be a unique installation (that is, two 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.
NOTE: 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.
7. Install WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 on the target server, but DO NOT configure.
