Ages ago I read the blog of a former MS employee who was on the team that did STSADM backup and restore stuff and he stated that the reason site level backup/restore was not supported was that it was too buggy and the feature was removed (because I used to use site level methods with the previous version of SharePoint)
The problem is I have not since found the blog, nor the post. Does my description sound familiar to anyone? Has anyone read the post I am referring to? (I read it easily a year ago) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Brown Sent: Wednesday, 19 November 2008 8:48 AM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: [SPAM] RE: [OzMOSS] RE: create SharePoint development same as production site Ø Why would it have be so hard to create a web-based GUI for theses (and other) essential daily tasks that allowed a bit more control over the various parameters and managed syntax while also providing a Test mode for the less brazen? Central Admin under Backup/Restore? Or Item level backup/restore level with DPM? Or even batch script with use of STSADM to run on a schedule. STSADM could of been made to support item level backup/.restore, but the amount of effort/overhead involved in this via a CLI is pretty large, Should the UI have supported it? Yes It should have.
