Granular backups for SharePoint

I just found Stramit's Blog - its pretty cool! Check out his Granular BackUp Manager.

 

Overview

Granular Backup Manageris a tool which allows you to create back up file and/or .bat file to make this file for a global hierarchy of WSS site. Its internal is based on the sMigrate.exe of the SharePoint system. the back up file are just Web Package. Each sub site of a WSS collection can have its own web package directly with this tool I made this tool to make easy the back up operation in the case in large WSS collection with document library. Using granular back up file allow you to restore just little site for recover a document instead of the all collection (less time, less space, just the site)

How to use

  1. Open the tool on a SharePoint Box. (change the language if you need)
  2. Type a valid WSS URL or just choose local server to feed the treeview
  3. Choose the start adress of your operation (a site or a sub sub sub site, whatever)
  4. Fill the different options
    • backup folder
    • overwrite/security
    • the different job : crete backup ou just .bat file
    • work deep the collection or just the url
  5. Start the process
