Hi David, The backup and restore in sharepoint hasn't always been the best, but Microsoft have released Data Protection manager that appears to help out in backing up and restoring MOSS farms etc and might save you some heartache.
Check out: http://whitepapers.silicon.com/0,39024759,60305097p-39000913q,00.htm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915181 hth, Aaron From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Prior, David Sent: Friday, 8 February 2008 10:11 AM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] BCP for WSS 2007 I'd be curious to hear about how people have performed a disaster recovery from two farms - Primary and Secondary farm, especially around the following: - which databases do you replicate to the secondary farm - all or only some (Content, Index, SPS, MySites, etc) - what database scripts do you run to activate the secondary farm (reconfigure WFE's to use new database server, etc) if the primary database server goes down. I recall from various readings that you can't or shouldn't replicate all databases as they contain Farm information which is not relevant on different farms, but you can run some database scripts to reconfigure it once the data is replicated. Thoughts?

In all my searching on the internet I can only find one posted on Technet for Sharepoint 2003. Any insight resources would be appreciated.
