Using Backup Sets

Overview

During installation of the SharePoint Server iDataAgent, the system automatically creates two default backup sets (Documents and Databases) and each contains a default subclient. Types are assigned to a backup set. When creating a new backup set, the types that can be selected are either:

• SharePoint Server Document.
  The content of this backup set can specify backing up site collections, sub-sites, areas, libraries, and lists.
• SharePoint Server Database.
  The content of this backup set can specify backing up SharePoint 2007 site collections, WSS web application content databases, shared service providers, WSS searches, global search settings. If Force use of V2 APIs is selected, then the content of the backup set will backup SharePoint 2003 site collections, portal sites, site content databases, site indexes, teamsite databases, and webstorage system databases.

After installation, you have the option of creating a User-defined Backup Set, which also will contain a default subclient.

See Backup Sets for information on the different types of backup sets.
