Interesting. We are looking at evaluating DPM. Can you elaborate on why you recommend against it?

I would strongly recommend against DPM 2007. Cheers Ken From: Steven M.

I can confirm both Veritas NetBackup and CommVault Simpana both have Sharepoint agent document-level capability. We are moving from the former to the latter. -sc From: Sherry Abercrombie [mailto:saber...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 8:40 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Backup/Restore best practices for Sharepoint 2007 You'll need to have a backup solution that is Sharepoint aware not just SQL aware. Backup Exec has an agent specifically for Sharepoint that will do the document level backup/restore you are asking for. Otherwise, if you just rely on SQL backups, you'll have to restore the entire SQL db to recover, which means everything since the backup is lost. I think most of the major backup software packages have something like BE has now for Sharepoint. A few years ago, that wasn't the case and you had to go with 3rd party backup to get the document level restore capability. We used a product called AvePoint for that for a couple of years until BE came out with their SP agent.

I have an 'associate' that has just installed Sharepoint 2007 at one of his law office clients at their request, but needs to learn more about it. I've done *some* work with Sharepoint but don't consider myself at the expert/specialist level and could use some feedback from those that have the proper experience ...
