how to backup Sharepoint 2010

[mobdoc]

Hi,

how do I properly backup the Sharepoint 2010, is it backing up the sql dbase is enough with the VSS and Image aware enabled? do I need to backup the WFE at the same time to proper back it up?

and on the restoration, do I need to configure the Surebackup or I can do it through the explorer.


Thanks,

In the backup job with the SharePoint server you have to enable Application Aware Processing. This way we will be able to detect it is a SharePoint server. More info about this can be found here.

Restores can be done via the Veeam Explorer for SharePoint. SureBackup allows you to simulate a restore in a virtual lab and guarantee that you can always restore it.

Right, you can perform SharePoint item-level recovery via Veeam Explorer for SharePoint or restore full VM, if required. SureBackup functionality is for recoverability testing, not actual restore in the first place.
