About selecting SharePoint Server 2003 resources for backup

Backup Exec provides a hierarchical tree view of SharePoint resources in the following locations in the Selection tree:

  • In the selection tree, a node titled Microsoft SharePoint Server Farms displays a logical view of the topology of each SharePoint server farm on your network. Backup Exec automatically discovers SharePoint farms when you browse to a SharePoint front-end Web server and adds the farms to this node. Additionally, you can add farms manually using the Add Server Farm menu option.

  • A node titled Microsoft SharePoint Resources displays for any server that has locally installed SharePoint resources. For single-server SharePoint deployments, all of the SharePoint resources are listed and are selectable for backup. For SharePoint server farm deployments, this node lists only the SharePoint resources that reside locally on this server and that can be selected for backup from this node. On front-end Web servers, this node lists the entire farm topology, but only the resources that reside locally can be selected for backup.
