HP Data Protector 6.11 script solution for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint Server 2010

10
The script options enable you to split the process into two parts: first you create the backup
specifications and then you start backup sessions. In this way, you can manually modify the
newly-created backup specifications in the Data Protector GUI before the backup is actually
started.
If Microsoft SQL Server instances are used not only by Microsoft SharePoint Server but also by
other database applications, modify the backup specifications so that only the databases that
belong to Microsoft SharePoint Server are selected for backup. See the section “Modifying
backup specifications”.
If you have Microsoft SQL Server database mirroring enabled, a failover can occur and so a
different Microsoft SQL Server system becomes active. Since the script creates backup
specifications only for the currently active Microsoft SQL Server systems, it is advisable to
update (recreate) the backup specifications before the backup is started.
