SonicWALL CDP 6.0 Administrator’s Guide
Backing Up SharePoint
Backing up Microsoft SharePoint using SonicWALL CDP allows users to store and retrieve
SharePoint database revisions from an agent machine. SharePoint databases are configured
for backup using the SonicWALL CDP Agent User Interface.
Note
SharePoint backup can only be configured using the Agent User Interface.
The application used for SharePoint backup is
Microsoft SQL Server/SharePoint
, as
SharePoint uses Microsoft SQL databases. The default SQL master, model, and msdb
databases are required for SharePoint, and SharePoint creates other SQL databases as well.
Microsoft SQL can be installed on the same or on another Windows Server machine.
SonicWALL recommends backing up all SharePoint databases together, rather than backing up
individual databases separately.
For information about restoring SharePoint databases, see the
“Recovering SharePoint”
section on page 189
.
See the following sections for SharePoint backup procedures:
•
“Creating an Application Object for SharePoint” section on page 151
•
“Scheduling Backups for SharePoint” section on page 152
•
“Configuring a Backup Task for SharePoint” section on page 153
•
“Verifying SharePoint Backup Activity” section on page 154
Creating an Application Object for SharePoint
To backup Microsoft SharePoint, you must configure an application object, a schedule, and a
backup task that includes both the application object and the schedule. This section describes
how to create the application object.
