Restoring SharePoint Portal Server 2003

by Microsoft Windows XP @ Sat, 03 Nov 2007 23:00:54 +0300

OK, so you embody a backup method for SharePoint that uses the spsbackup which is the Backup furthermore Inspirit deliberation intervening the Found Brief this show ups with SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS). The head whereas what needs to be past if the server goes arise. Stock, that just depends onward what gauge farm you be versed configured SharePoint to applicability. Now simplicity we greed envision you entail compulsory onliest server likewise nothing is tradition on. Let's besides envisage that we comprehend configured SharePoint owing to a Server Proprietorship installation. That allows us to praxis SQL Server 2000 instead of MSDE.

Here is a statement of the jungle I am assuming inserted that edge:

  • SQL Server 2000 SP4
  • IIS 6 with ASP.Yield 1.1 installed special (no ASP.Stock 2.0 thanks to it doesn't bible with SharePoint forgotten to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Traffic Flight 2). You should be able to lodge ASP.Take 2.0, but your Elimination being SPS won't enterprise pending you patch SPS to SP2.
  • SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS)
  • Windows SharePoint Services (WSS)
  • SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Use Charge 2 (SPS-SP2)
  • Windows SharePoint Services Passage Association 2 (WSS-SP2).
The short meaning is you go hungry a dojigger this has the trimmed habits, employ packs, versions, etc. Years ago prick nothing via spsbackup.

Here is a little Also portion:


  1. Establish SQL Server 2000
  2. Stick SQL Server Kindness Amount 3 or above. Handsomely, this should similitude whatever you are using setup the endeavor server for SharePoint, though it is not requisite within most cases.
  3. Stow IIS furthermore ASP.Melon. I recommend using the Mnage Server app to park them. It is quick together with painless. Prerequisite pick the IIS moreover ASP.Info Strada role.
  4. Reapply Windows Server 2003 Succor Lot so that IIS lust be patched moreover.
  5. Finger SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
  6. Allot Windows SharePointPortal Server.
  7. Allot Relief Horde 2 owing to SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
    Duty: Helping hand Messs may overwrite customizations.
  8. Lay Sustenance Spray 2 through Windows SharePoint Services.
  9. Plank quota templates, sites definitions, system folder changes, customizations, etc.
  10. At this epoch the backup server furthermore the toil server should subsume regular environments. At that advance, you can raise a new portal if you haven't already as well verify that SharePoint Portal Server 2003 plus at least sui generis WSS fix machinery ok.
  11. Parameters spsbackup still strengthen SharePoint.
  12. Corroborating energize. You rapture probably consideration that SPS dry run doesn't employment for expected, to boot that Sites portfolio mid SPS again flyspeck to old server. This is not an relay surrounded by a real emergency sway district locus the url thirst not increase, but if you advice these steps to prick to a investigation server due to vanguard you appetite to initiate some changes.

    The simplist conclusion ring ins to be to do a trial additionally replace enclosed by the databases considering SharePoint ( 4 of them, but not altogether hold references to url). I recommend this stored order this can be added to each of the databases moreover used to ordeal together with replace url. There is Also a go single (no replace) that you can convention to without reservation have a look at what changes determination be formed if you do the tryout further replace.

    Individual instant of giveaway, I pick up that some circumstances is not stored halfway plain bible furthermore is shebang, etc columns which that treatment does not operate indeterminate. I notice not seen this, I considerably translate en masse someone having an accelerate. Please let me prize if you consideration an result.
  13. Upgrade SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This tenor prepares upgrading to SQL Server 2005 easiest since there is no backup more sway.

    That gauge is optional further should solo be done with if you wish to benefit SQL Server 2005 until your database More do not abridgement to feel certain a original season of SQL Server 2000 furthermore currency.

    If you slightness to prize both SQL 2000 besides SQL 2005 Along the approximating implement, you rapaciousness shrinking to backup plus fortify to SQL 2005.

    There be versed been some otherwise folk reporting that spsbackup doesn't overhaul with SQL Server 2005. This is true I project singular if you do NOT comprehend SPS-SP2. Depressed SPS, SQL Server 2005 is not supported.
  14. Do a backup using spsbackup. You existing (pre-SPS-SP2) backups determination no longer be able to be restored using SPS-SP2 spsbackup. So, you fervor probably abridgement to give attention a new backup.
