Recover Documents from Companyweb site
Ok my client had a performance problem with there network, server, and account management software, so I recommended doing a rebuild of there SBS server to get the account management software on a raid0 to speed up there access speeds, which the software engineer agreed. Everything went great except, i was not aware that they were using there SBS built in Companyweb site to store there documents and faxes on. So when i did a backup the files did not copy over to the backup. Any ideas where i can recover anything. Before the rebuild they were using Symantec 11d tape backups, and tomorrow i am going to try to restore something from there.
Thanks for any help.

Backup Exec 11d generally does not back up ldf and mdf files. So you may not be able to find them in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT\Da
However, if BE was configured to back up the Sharepoint databases through the Microsoft SQL agent, then you can use this backup to restore the databases from.

Thanks for the replies, I definately agree on the Raid 0, i have everything else on a raid 5, the raid 0 is only the management software which was the recommendation of the software engineer. But to the question i did a robocopy of cdrive before i wiped everything and i have 4 files in the data folder msdbdata.mdf at 5mg, msdblog.ldf at 1.2 meg, STS_OEMSBSCN-9010_1.mdf at 7.4 meg, and STS_OEMSBSCN-9010_1_log.LD
Thanks
Thanks
They are the files you need. However they sounds very small, how much data was there on the site?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
However, in answer to your question if the backup has captured the following files;
" STS_Config.mdf
" STS_Config_log.ldf
" STS_Servername_1.mdf
" STS_Servername_1_log.ldf
you can restore the dbs. The default installation path for these files are as follows, C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT\Da
See the following kb article for a comprehensive guide to the process.
I would HIGHLY recommend reconsidering your RAID choice, if to nothing else a RAID 0 + 1
Good luck in any case.
