Hi Matt,
You can try to restore the backups to a new site and recover the documents that 
way. Not fun but should work.

That is create a new site, do a restore and you should be fine.

or you can try a tool such as Tzunami (i think that what it was called) that 
might help.

hth.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been given the ungodly task of recovering documents from a dead sharepoint 
installation.  They have the database files for the site, but the configuration 
database is gone and is not coming back.   Does anyone know if there is a tool 
available to extract the documents from the DB?

Cheers,

You can also try the addcontentdb to an existing site collection and try to 
recover that way as well.

BTW the Sharepoint utility suite had a Document recovery tool; not sure if it 
works for MOSS but the source code was available  too; wouldn’t be that 
different.

Hi Matt,

You could try creating a VM with a blank site and copy the dbs to that. Then 
try connecting to your content databases from the admin.

Theoretically that should work.

Recovering data from a dead site


Hi Aaron,
 
Thanks for the tip.  I’m on a client site where the only backups were done at 
SQL level, not through STS admin and even then not every file was backed up.  
Not fun…
 
I’ve been building up a VM which *should* have a similar configuration as the 
old site. I’m about to see if you can create a empty site with the same name 
and switch the database files while the service is offline.
Tzunami looks neat, though it doesn’t mention anything about fixing broken 
installs, mainly about creating/migration new sites.  
 
Cheers,
 
 
Matt

If you just want to pull the documents only from the dead site then
check out this blog posting on how to pull them directly from the db.
Doing this you could avoid having to muck around adding the db as a
content db in SharePoint.

Matt, if your still having issues with it, I have documented how to do this
type of recovery with pretty screenshots and recently it got a guy (from a
different mailing list) out of jail.. come to think of it I was promised a
carton of beer in return and I don't have it yet :-O

 

Anyway, rather than spam the list with it, mail me privately and I'll shoot
the relevant section through.

 

For what its worth, I personally found the SQL restore method to be the most
reliable and flexible MOSS backup/recovery method I tested..

Subject: [OzMOSS] Recovering data from a dead site

Hi everyone,

 

I've been given the ungodly task of recovering documents from a dead
sharepoint installation.  They have the database files for the site, but the
configuration database is gone and is not coming back.   Does anyone know if
there is a tool available to extract the documents from the DB?

 

Cheers,

 

 

Matt

I just saw the email and thought, "Brilliant - there's the solution".

 

I'm a little rusty on sharepoint administration these days, it's been a
while since I've broken a installation. 

 

Thanks for the help, I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Cheers,

 

 

Matt

Hi Matt

I had to receiver a sp site from a sql backup. 

I used SQL Server Management Studio Express to restore the db

I setup a new site, and used a batch file (below)

I also had to install the templates that were on the site

 

cd \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\BIN\

STSADM -o deletecontentdb -url http://ATLAS:80 -databasename WSS_Content
-databaseserver ATLAS\MICROSOFT##SSEE

STSADM -o addcontentdb -url http://ATLAS:80 -databasename WSS_Content4
-databaseserver ATLAS\MICROSOFT##SSEE

pause

 

 

Cheers

Craig

Hi Aaron,

 

Thanks for the tip.  I'm on a client site where the only backups were done
at SQL level, not through STS admin and even then not every file was backed
up.  Not fun.

 

I've been building up a VM which *should* have a similar configuration as
the old site. I'm about to see if you can create a empty site with the same
name and switch the database files while the service is offline.

Tzunami looks neat, though it doesn't mention anything about fixing broken
installs, mainly about creating/migration new sites.  

 

Cheers,

Hi Matt,

You can try to restore the backups to a new site and recover the documents
that way. Not fun but should work.

 

That is create a new site, do a restore and you should be fine.

 

or you can try a tool such as Tzunami (i think that what it was called) that
might help.

RE: [OzMOSS] Recovering data from a dead site

2007-11-15 Thread Clayton James 
Hi Matt,
 
I am thinking you should restore your Content DB to SQL Server where an 
existing sharepoint environment is already configured. Your VM sounds fine.
 
So restore your Content DB (Content.bak) to Sql Server, then go to Central 
Admin and create a Web Application. In the Create Web Application UI there is a 
property for the Content DB. This is filled out by default. Remove this entry 
and type in the name of your Content DB that you restored.
 
This makes a connection between your Web Application and your Content DB.
 
Hope this helps.
