The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Unable to restore from full sharepoint backup

Asked by slat3dx in MOSS-Sharepoint

Tags: , ,

I am having some troubles performing a sharepoint "farm" level restore of our production Proj 2007 server onto another system. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction?

We are a very small site and have a standalone project 2007 server installed. I simply what a tested disaster recovery plan for our site.  Currently my plan involves SQL tools and backup/import of the 4 Project databases and recreating the pwa site.

My process is like this:
1. Install a fresh w2k3 server machine, configure and install Project Server using the basic option accepting all the defaults.
2. Let the sharepoint config wizard run
3. change instances of the old servername to the new one by editing backup xml file
4. Run the restore from backup wizard
5. choose the same option to overwrite any existing stuff

The backup always has errors about things already existing for example:
SharedServices1
the default pwa site

I have tried to work around the errors by:
-deleting the default pwa site in central admin
- creating a new sharedservices and delete the default one in central admin
- renaming/deleting the existing ssp before restore using stsadmn

NOTE: our production system is installed the same as the above process: all defaults

Am I missing steps to configure the the system before restore?
Why doesn't Microsofts's "one click" backup and restore solution work?
