Backing up Restoring Sharepoint Sites with Backup Exec 2010
We've been backing up Sharepoint with Backup Exec 2010 for sometime now. One thing I've never been able to do successfully is fully restore an individual site. The last time I attempted it, the site came back, but the site's template was missing.
Any ideas or tips and how to make this work 100%? The mgt here is getting nervous about the ability to recover.

I just double-checked and we're backing up everything via Backup Exec. Again, if I delete data within a test site like calendar entries, tasks, etc, and I perform a site level restore, all comes back. If I however delete the *entire* site via admin prilvileges, when I go to restore it, all data comes back but the company logo (template).
Not a showstopper, but it's weird how it does that. Also probably not a huge concern as normal users wouldn't be able to kill a whole site anyway.
I'm also assuming that if the entire installation had to be brought back after a disaster situatio, involving the iindividual SP servers and SQL instances, that would bring everything back.

We do use back up exec but it is used to back up all the data bases . and in case you want to restore some site , we just restore that data base and recover a site . for sites we have Ave point.
if you are trying to restore site on a different server it seems like tempalte is not installed on the server .
I will also check the back up logs if tempaltes files were backed up or not .
