virtual server configuration, style sheets (CSS), themes, a nd customization informa tion for site definitions
are stored i n the SharePoint installation directory on the file system.
Regular backups of the “SHA REPOINT” databases in conjunction with File System backup will ensure
protection and integrity of SharePoint Services virtual ser vers, the document repository, users, securit y
settings, and permissions.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that the user enable Microsoft Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) option for
backup jobs when creating DR backup sets. Enabling the VSS option will ensure that the user can restore
all WSS components in a consistent state during the disaster recovery process.
NOTE:
The instructions for the additional steps are outlined in the Disaster Recovery section of this appendix.
To allow a consistent restore the backup set for WSS must include the following components (if you select
the entire system for backup, these components are all included):
1.
WSS Installation directory This directory and its sub directories, %BootVolume%\program
files\Common Files\Microsoft Common Shared\web server extensions\12,
contain WSS i
nstallation and con figuration files including binaries, site templates, style sheets,
customizati
on information for site definitions, etc.
2.
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) Virtual Servers WSS uses one or more virtual servers to
host Web sites. Unlike ASP.NET, it does n ot configure each Web site using an I IS virtual director y.
Alternately, WSS tracks all configuration information for WSS Web sites inside the con fi guration
database and content databases. This implies that a backup of the configuration database will be
required to ensure the p rotection of all Sha rePoint extended virtual servers.
3.
WSS Databases By default, WSS installs a WMSDE/SSEE instance called SHAREPOINT or
Microsoft ##SSEE and creates databases including a configuration database an d a content
database
. The SHAREPOINT database instance can be backed up by selecting the instance in
the Data Protector Express Administrator GUI.
4.
Usage An
alysis logs
Usage an
alysis for WSS allows one to track how Web sites on your server are
being us
ed. If usage analysis logging process is enabled, WSS log files are cr eated daily to track
usage i
nformation. These log files are stored in %WinDir%\system32\LogFiles\STS directory.
NOTE:
This pat
h can be customized. In this case , one should add the appropriate path to the backup selection list.
5. Select the Windows SharePoint SQL Databases icon in the selection tree and expand the tree.
6. Select the server that houses Windows SharePoint Services and expand the tree until you are able to
select the SharePoint database.
