Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is an integrated suite of server capabilities that provides content management
and search using a web frontend and a SQL database backend to manage content. To test the PowerVault
DL2000 Powered by CommVault
‘s ability to protect and restore SharePoint items, ESG Lab started with a pre-
populated SharePoint Server, with several folders full of presentation materials, running in a virtual machine on a
VMware ESX server. CommVault uses the same agents, installation and configuration for virtual servers as for
physical servers.
ESG Lab deleted
the folder ―Storage Center Presentations – June‖ which contained twenty five files and then
emptied the SharePoint recycle bin, ensuring that the files were completely deleted from the system. Utilizing
CommVault‘s restore wizard, ESG was able to search the dataset that had been backed up with a single-pass,
full system backup for the individual SharePoint folder that was deleted. ESG selected the folder
―Storage
Center Presentations – June‖ from the latest backed up dataset and restored it to its original location as shown in
Figure 7.
FIGURE 7. SHAREPOINT RECOVERY
Locating and restoring the files was performed in less than two minutes. ESG Lab was able to verify the restored
folder from the SharePoint web interface and open the restored files. ESG Lab found that CommVault can
protect SharePoint installation with single-pass backups and recover individual SharePoint items such as sites,
documents, lists, folders, and templates with an easy to use restore wizard and search capability.
