11.5.2 Recovering configuration and service databases
Configuration and service databases must be synchronized with other databases. Hence, it is
recommended to recover configuration and service databases either along with content databases or
to the latest point in time (if content databases do not need recovery).
The configuration database contains hostnames of the farm's servers. Therefore, you can recover the
configuration database only to the original SharePoint farm. Service databases can be recovered to a
non-original farm.
To recover the configuration database
1. On the server that is running the Central Administration site, in the Services snap-in, stop the
services listed in the table below.
2. On the server that is running the Central Administration site, run the following command:
iisreset /stop
3. Recover the database files as described in "Recovering SQL Server databases from a disk backup"
(p. 290).
4. Start the SharePoint services that were stopped earlier.
