Features and Benefits

Recovery Manager for SharePoint

Integration with native backup solution

Locate and use backup files from native Microsoft SQL Server backups. These include manual and scheduled maintenance backups and other solutions that rely on SQL Server backups (i.e. SharePoint Portal Server backup and restore, SharePoint 2007 backup and restore tools).

Integration with other backup tools

Recovery Manager enables the user to restore the data from the snapshots of backups created using Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007. It also enables the user to restore the data from the backups created using IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases. In addition, Recovery Manager works with LiteSpeed backups stored in Tivoli Storage Manager.

Integration with Recycle Bin

The “Search in Recycle Bin” option allows you to search for particular items in SharePoint Recycle Bins and restore these items to their original location. Recovery Manager will find specific items even when a parent container was moved to the Recycle Bin by a user.

Restore to any location, any time

Restore any recovered content to any SharePoint instance or save to a file system, even when the original SharePoint site is not available. This means you have emergency access to business-critical data before the entire server farm comes back.

Search and compare online data and backups

Search for any document by title or type of a document in a specific backup or across all backups in a date range. View a list of deleted or modified documents in the search pane with a single click or sort search results by any column.

Document preview

Locate, open, save to disk, or even e-mail any document inside the backup. Recovery Manager automatically uses the appropriate program to open documents based on the document extension, saves the document or sends it via e-mail.

Automatic discovery of backups

Discover all backups made for a particular content database of virtual servers discovered by Quest Site Administrator.

Disaster Recovery Advisor

This component guides the SharePoint administrator through the process of complete farm restoration. The DR Advisor analyzes the existing backups of the SharePoint configuration database, creates a detailed checklist of actions required to return the SharePoint farm back to operational state and verifies each components’ availability in real time. 

Intuitive interface

Convenient, user-friendly interface within Quest’s MMC-based console.

Added performance with Quest LiteSpeed for SQL Server

Recovery Manager works on top of native SharePoint and SQL backups. Adding LiteSpeed for SQL Server to protect SharePoint content databases provides a significant increase in backup and restore performance, backup availability, and the reliability of backup and recovery operations for the whole farm. While recommended, LiteSpeed is optional and not required to run Recovery Manager for SharePoint.

No full backup recovery required

Recover lost or deleted items in SharePoint without requiring a full recovery of your backup. Minimizes overwritten data and time required for restore.

PowerShell Cmdlets

Allow the user to perform title-based search for the SharePoint documents in the backups cached by Recovery Manager and to restore them to the original location or export them to a file system.
