1. WSS Installation directory
This directory and its sub directories, %BootVolume%\program files\Common Files\
Microsoft Common Shared\web server extensions\12, contain WSS installation
and configuration files including binaries, site templates, style sheets, customization information
for site definitions, etc.
2. Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) Virtual Servers
WSS uses one or more virtual servers to host Web sites. Unlike ASP.NET, it does not configure
each Web site using an IIS virtual directory. Alternately, WSS tracks all configuration
information for WSS Web sites inside the configuration database and content databases.
This implies that a backup of the configuration database will be required to ensure the
protection of all SharePoint extended virtual servers.
3. WSS Databases
By default, WSS installs a WMSDE/SSEE instance called SHAREPOINT or Microsoft ##SSEE
and creates databases including a configuration database and a content database. The
SHAREPOINT database instance can be backed up by selecting the instance in the Data
Protector Express Administrator GUI.
4. Usage Analysis logs
Usage analysis for WSS allows one to track how Web sites on your server are being used.
If usage analysis logging process is enabled, WSS log files are created daily to track usage
information. These log files are stored in %WinDir%\system32\LogFiles\STS directory.
NOTE: This path can be customized. In this case, one should add the appropriate path to
the backup selection list.
5. Select the Windows SharePoint SQL Databases icon in the selection tree and expand the tree.
6. Select the server that houses Windows SharePoint Services and expand the tree until you are
able to select the SharePoint database.
Restoring SharePoint Services
To restore Windows SharePoint Services you will need to select the following:
1. WSS Installation directory
This directory and its sub directories, %BootVolume%\program files\Common Files\
Microsoft Common Shared\web server extensions\12, contain WSS installation
and configuration files including binaries, site templates, style sheets, customization information
for site definitions, etc.
