6. Restart the domain controller in normal mode.
7. [Optional] After the domain controller restarts, open Event Viewer, expand Application and
Services Logs, and then select the Directory Services log. In the Directory Services log, look for a
recent entry for Event ID 1109. If you find this entry, double-click it to ensure that the
InvocationID attribute has changed. This means that the Active Directory database has been
updated.
8. Open Registry Editor and verify that the setting in the DSA Previous Restore Count value has
increased by one as compared with step 4. If the DSA Previous Restore Count value was absent
in step 4, verify that it is now present and that its setting is 1.
If you see a different setting (and you cannot find the entry for Event ID 1109), ensure that the
recovered domain controller has current service packs, and then repeat the entire procedure.

11.5 Recovering SharePoint data
Different SharePoint servers and databases are recovered in different way.

To recover separate disks or volumes of a front-end Web server, you can either create a recovery
task (p. 131) in Acronis Backup graphical user interface or boot the server from the bootable
media (p. 249) and configure recovery.
In the same way, you can recover an SQL server.

Content databases can be recovered by using Agent for SQL or Agent for Windows. For details,
see "Recovering a content database" (p. 298).

Configuration and service databases are recovered as files. For details, see "Recovering
configuration and service databases" (p. 300).

You can also recover individual SharePoint items (such as sites, lists, document libraries and
others). For details, see "Recovering individual items" (p. 301).
11.5.1 Recovering a content database
This topic describes the recovery of a content database to the original SharePoint farm by using
Acronis Backup.
The recovery to a non-original farm is a more complicated procedure. Its steps vary depending on the
farm configuration and other parameters of the production environment.
Recovering a content database by using Agent for SQL
This method allows you to recover a database from a single-pass backup of a machine running SQL
Server.
To recover a content database
1. Connect the console to the machine where you need to recover the database to. Agent for SQL
must be installed on the machine.
2. Recover the database to an instance, as described in the "Recovering SQL databases to
instances" (p. 308) section.
