Ø Is the GUI-based Farm backup in Central Administration smart enough to recognise different farm topology, configurations, paths, domains, ports etc., and update them? Having not gone down this road before Im finding the unknown more than a little frightening.
No, As far as I know, its exactly the same process as stsadmn o backup/restore just with a GUI. I may be wrong on this... anyone able to clarify? (Sorry, I just use CLI) Ø Also, does anyone know of a method to selectively backup content i.e. _without_ the content in document libraries? I believe Microsoft Data Protection Manager is able to do this, although I have not tried or tested it. -DB From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 18 November 2008 10:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] RE: create SharePoint development same as production site Hi Michael, Sorry to pick up an old thread but Im just getting ready to backup/restore our production environment to development in order to have a current version to work with.

Because usually you are doing it vice versa, from development to production Just make a whole farm backup on production box and restore on your box via OOTB backup/restore Michael Nemtsev | WSS MCTS, MS MVP Readify B: <http://msmvps.com/blogs/laflour/> http://msmvps.com/blogs/laflour/ T: +61 424 184 978 E: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Zheng Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 3:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] create SharePoint development same as production site Hi All: Just want to find out what you guys do to copy the production site to the development machine, is backup/restore or import/export site or some other better way.
