Hi,
I have been tasked with setting up a backup of a Sharepoint 2007
distributed system. I am a UNIX admin and don't know a great deal about
Sharepoint, which is kind of an overengineered attempt
at domination of a non-market, but any way it's my job and I do find the
process of setting it up within Legato to at least be interesting.
I read through the guides for the NMM module we obtained for the job,
but the furthest I got was enabling a snapshot group and sort of having half
baked success with it.
Can anyone please advise to me, how to actually make this work in the real
world?
One onerous thing I have read but do not understand is that the NMM module
on the Client system has a pre-requisite for uninstalling an existing Legato
Client and replacing it with the NMM. But then I do not see how to backup
the C: drive and so on for example, along
with the Sharepoint path documented in the guide. Also, the Sharepoint
MS-SQL database resides on a system with several other databases
and so given the above, I have no idea how to back those up as well.
This is a distributed setup, so I have to install the NMM on several
systems, I guess.
And then there is whole Snapshot thing, that I have only come across
since we upgraded to 7.4.2 - Can someone point me to how to get this to be
successful? Do I need something called "powersnap"? I think
at least some of the snapshot backup test runs did backup something but this
is new territory for me.
If someone has a walkthrough that goes a bit beyond the install guide
and config guide, that would be awesome.....
