15 Deploying Symantec Backup Exec 2014 with Dell PS Series Arrays | TR1057
4 SharePoint backup levels
Symantec Backup Exec 2014 supports many levels of backup for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and 2013. A
few of these are:
Web applications and their associated databases
Sites and subsites. Individual objects and their versions can be restored from full database backups
Individual documents and any pictures that are contained in libraries
Configuration databases that contain all of the configuration information for the entire SharePoint
Server farm. Use caution when you restore this database. Any changes that you make to the farm
topology before you restore from the backup are lost. The configuration database can be restored
only to its original location.
Note: Each backup level has its advantages and disadvantages. This report focuses on leveraging the VSS
capabilities of Symantec Backup Exec 2014 with GRT and enabled farm-level backups.
