How TSM for SharePoint Works 2007 IBM Corporation
Backup Plan Builder What is a backup plan? SharePoint Server Simply put it is a backup job that allows an administrator to specify SharePoint Portal What to backup Top Level Sites in the When to backup Portal How to backup (via Full, Incremental, or Differential) Incremental - only backs up new data since the previous backup, whether it was incremental or full Tree Mode Sub-sites, folders, lists etc Differential - backs up all new data since the last full backup Where to backup How to handle to backup data in terms of data retention and security -compression and encryption Actual contents within the folders, document names in shared documents, individual announcements in announcements etc 19
Backup Plans - Granularity Can Create Item Level, Subsite Level and Site Level Backup plans Item-level To restore single objects (single documents, specific versions of a document, list items, attachments within list items), areas, subareas, customized layouts, and portal links Subsite-level To restore entire subsites Site-level l Fastest backup Why Granularity on backup plans? Flexibility - Every environment is different Using the different levels of backup plans you can ensure that backups can be run with maximum efficiency, and restores can be fast Restores A Site-level backup can be restored to a Site (very fast) A Subsite-level backup can be restored to a Subsite (very fast) Item level backups can restore individual items (fast) and also complete Sites (slow) Recommended Backup Strategy: Full Site and Full Item level backups weekly Item level backups daily incremental 20
Recovery IBM Tivoli Software Restores are quick and simple: Select the Media Server where the backup data is stored Select the Agent Host to browse the backup plan Select the folder where the document is stored Browse through the backup data to find the file you are looking to restore.

Specify Restore Options to choose whether you want the restore to overwrite, not overwrite, or append to the data currently in place 21
Other important features Browser based GUI Allows administrators to access it from any computer on the network Encryption and Compression Encryption and Compression of data can be done on either the client side or on the Media Server Ease of installation A few mouse clicks to install each component gets you up and running quickly Search for data to restore Search on the site name, sub-site name, list name, folder name or file name to quickly restore data Can also search on item attributes such as the name of the creator. 22
Other important features Discovery of new items Automatically pickup new items that are created underneath the levels you selected in your backup plan Example: if you select Shared Documents folder to be backed up, and a new document is created, that document is automatically backed up Restore In Place / Out of place Individual items, sub-sites sites or entire sites can be restored in place or out of place In-place restore restores the item back to its original location, good for replacing lost or deleted documents Out-of-place restore restores the item to a new location, good for copying data across folders, sites, and portals 23
