Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Database-level Configuration tab

The Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Database-level Configuration tab includes options for storing SharePoint data to a shared folder where the Agent is installed.

Options on the Database-level Configuration tab include:

Default Backup or Restore Dump Location

The default backup dump location under Default Backup / Restore Dump Location has the following options:

Note: The same location will be used when you submit a restore job.

• Arcserve Backup Server—Exports SharePoint data to a shared folder on the Arcserve server before it is saved to a tape.
• Arcserve Backup Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Server (Local Machine)—Exports SharePoint data to a shared folder on a local computer where the Agent is installed. The data is then saved on a tape through the network.
• Other (NAS, File) Server Name—Exports SharePoint data to a NAS device or a public shared folder. You need to specify the server name, if you select this option.

Note: You must specify the host name instead of an IP address.

Backup / Restore Dump Path

Specify the Share name and Physical Path under the Backup / Restore Dump Path as follows:

• Share Name—Specifies the shared folder where the data must be backed up, if you selected the Other (NAS, File) Server Name as the backup/restore dump location. You must grant the necessary permissions to the folder.

  Note: The name should not contain the special character ‘$’ at the end.

• Physical Path—Specifies the path where you want the data to be backed up, if you select the Arcserve Backup Server or Arcserve Agent for SharePoint Server as the backup or restore dump location.

Backup or Restore Account Credentials

Specify the User name and password under the Backup/Restore Account Credentials to install the COM+ components.

Note: The Reset Credentials option is enabled, if the COM+ component is not installed. You must enter the user details to install these components.

• User Name—Defines the farm administrator user details.
• Password—Defines the farm administrator password details.
