Why TSM for SharePoint

Tools provided by Microsoft are inadequate…– Lack item level restore capabilityLack item level restore capability

– Are not full fidelity - You may lose some customizations or settings in the process.

– Are not integrated with a backup environment that includes tape

Lock up SQL indexes during backup– Lock up SQL indexes during backup

Wh i hi i ?Why is this important?Customers demand a solution that…

– has item level restore capability

– maintains data integrity

– can be run during production hours (Does not lock SQL indexes)

– has integration to their backup environment, including tape

– has Policy based management of backup data, scheduling, monitoring, reporting

IBM TSM for SharePoint – Installable Components

TSM for SharePoint Server Central administrative component for all TSM for SharePoint client components– Central administrative component for all TSM for SharePoint client components

TSM for SharePoint Media Server – Media server works together with the client to do the backup / data transfer. The client extracts the

data from SharePoint and sends it to the media server which sends it to TSM

– Multiple media servers on separate machines can be used to provide scalability

– Media servers use the TSM API to transfer data to TSM into the TSM hierarchy of storage

TSM for SharePoint Client– This is the client agent that resides only on the SharePoint front end web servers to be backed up

– Client communicates with SharePoint front-end web servers via Microsoft’s SharePoint Object Model

API, and communicates with the SQL server via Microsoft’s SQL API. To backup SharePoint data

– Client communicates with the Media Server to store/retrieve the backup data

– Eligible for pricing

How TSM for SharePoint Works

Backup Plan Builder

What is a backup plan?

SharePoint ServerSharePoint Portal

Top Level Sites in the

What is a backup plan?

Simply put it is a backup job that allows an administrator to specifyWhat to backup

Tree Mode

Top Level Sites in the Portal

at to bac upWhen to backup How to backup (via Full, Incremental, or Differential)

Incremental - only backs up new data since the previous backup, whether it was incremental or fullTree Mode Sub-sites, folders, lists etc…

Actual contents within the folders, document names in shared documents, individual announcements in announcements…etc

y p p pDifferential - backs up all new data since the last full backup

Where to backupHow to handle to backup data in terms of data retention and security -compression and encryption


IBM Tivoli Software

Backup Plans - GranularityCan Create Item Level, Subsite Level and Site Level Backup plans

– Item-level To restore single objects (single documents specific versions of a document list itemsTo restore single objects (single documents, specific versions of a document, list items, attachments within list items), areas, subareas, customized layouts, and portal links

– Subsite-levelTo restore entire subsites

Sit l l– Site-levelFastest backup

Why Granularity on backup plans?y y p p– Flexibility - Every environment is different

– Using the different levels of backup plans you can ensure that backups can be runwith 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

Recoveryy

R t i k d i lRestores are quick and simple:

Select the Media Server where the backup data is stored

Select the Agent Host to browse the backup plan

S l t th f ld h th d t i t dSelect the folder where the document is stored

Browse through the backup data to find the file you are looking to restore.

Check the boxes to select the documents or items you wish to restore.

Specify Restore Options to choose whether you want the restore to overwriteSpecify Restore Options to choose whether you want the restore to overwrite,not overwrite, or append to the data currently in place


IBM Tivoli Software

Other important features

B b d GUIBrowser 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 installationA fe mo se clicks to install each component gets o p and r nning q ickl– 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.


IBM Tivoli Software

Other important featuresp

Di f itDiscovery 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 placeIndividual items sub sites or entire sites can be restored in place or out of place– Individual items, sub-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 lostor deleted documents

– Out-of-place restore restores the item to a new location, good for copying dataacross folders, sites, and portals

FAQs

Q: What do I have to license?A O l th th TSM f SP Cli t t th TSM f SP M di S IA: Only the processors on the TSM for SP Clients, not the TSM for SP Media Servers. In most cases you also want to have TSM base/EE licenses for all servers in your environment.

Q: Do I need TSM for Databases (DP for MS SQL Server)?A: No, it is optional. TSM for SP gives you complete data protection for your SP environment. Y ld d TSM f D t b f dditi l di t t ti f th MSYou would need TSM for Databases for additional disaster recovery protection of the MS SQL Server themselves.

Q: Is the Avepoint internal database being backed up?A: In the latest version of TSM for SP this database is included and protected.

Q: How can I get these Avepoint additional products?A: Directly from Avepoint. They work on top of TSM for SP.

Q: Is there a way to apply the logs on disk manually?No the logs ill be a tomaticall applied in case of a Site/S bsite back psNo, the logs will be automatically applied in case of a Site/Subsite backups.

Where does MS Sharepoint store the documents?In most case inside the MS SQL Server database from where TSM for SP backs them up.

In Filter Mode you can create customized filters that the software will use to pick up new backup data. For example, you can have the software pickup everything with HR in the URL thus backing up all sites related to

The List Mode was designed for customers with very large SharePoint deployments. It allows you to view individual sites separately vs having to load all 10 000with HR in the URL, thus backing up all sites related to
