11.5.3 Recovering individual items

Use one of the following three methods of recovering individual SharePoint items:

Using Acronis SharePoint Explorer. This tool allows you to recover SharePoint items from
single-pass disk and application backups, from an attached database, or from database files.
To use the tool, you need a working SharePoint farm. You must also purchase an Acronis Backup
license that supports SharePoint backups.
To access Acronis SharePoint Explorer, click Extract SharePoint Data on the Tools menu of
Acronis Backup Management Console. For information about the tool, see its documentation:
http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ASPE/.

Attaching the content database to a non-original SharePoint farm (for example, to a SharePoint
recovery farm).
It is necessary to attach the content database to a non-original SharePoint farm because each
object in a farm must have a unique ID. So, you will not be able to attach the database to the
original farm.

Recovering from an unattached database. The method is not available for SharePoint 2007.
This method allows you to recover only the following types of items: sites, lists, or document
libraries.

To recover SharePoint items via attaching the content database to a farm

1. Attach the content database to an SQL Server instance as described in steps 1-5 of "Accessing

SQL Server databases from a disk backup" (p. 204).

2. Attach the content database to a non-original SharePoint farm. To do this:

a. Make sure that you are performing this procedure under a farm administrator account that is

a member of the db_owner role of the database. If not, add the account to this role by using
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

b. Run the following command on a front-end Web server:

In SharePoint 2010 or later:

Mount-SPContentDatabase <database> -DatabaseServer <database server>
-WebApplication <site url>

In SharePoint 2007:

stsadm.exe -o addcontentdb -url <site url> -databasename <database>
-databaseserver <database server>

3. Open the SharePoint site and select the document to download.
4. After the downloading is complete, detach the content database from the SharePoint farm.
5. Detach the database and unmount the previously mounted volume as described in steps 7-8 of

"Accessing SQL Server databases from a disk backup" (p. 204).
