6 Oxford TSM Symposium 2007 IBM Tivoli Software Why TSM for SharePoint

Tools provided by Microsoft are inadequate… – Lack item level restore capability – Are not full fidelity - You may lose some customizations or settings in the process. – Are not integrated with a backup environment that includes tape – Lock up SQL indexes during backup

Why i s thi s i mportant? Customers demand a solution that… – has item level restore capability – maintains data integrity – can be run during production hours (Does not lock SQL indexes) – has integration to their backup environment, including tape – has Policy based management of backup data, scheduling, monitoring, reporting

12 Oxford TSM Symposium 2007 IBM Tivoli Software IBM TSM for SharePoint – Installable Components

TSM for SharePoint Server – Central administrative component for all TSM for SharePoint client components

TSM for SharePoint Media Server – Media server works together with the client to do the backup / data transfer. The client extracts the data from SharePoint and sends it to the media server which sends it to TSM – Multiple media servers on separate machines can be used to provide scalability – Media servers use the TSM API to transfer data to TSM into the TSM hierarchy of storage

TSM for SharePoint Client – This is the client agent that resides only on the SharePoint front end web servers to be backed up – Client communicates with SharePoint front-end web servers via Microsoft’s SharePoint Object Model API, and communicates with the SQL server via Microsoft’s SQL API. To backup SharePoint data – Client communicates with the Media Server to store/retrieve the backup data – Eliggpgible for pricing

How TSM for SharePoint Works

What is a backup plan?

SharePoint Server Simply put it is a backup job that allows an administrator to specifySharePoint Portal

What to bac k up Top Level Sites in the Portal When to backup How to backup (via Full, Incremental, or Differential) Incremental - onlyyp backs up new data since the previous backu p, whether it was incremental or full Tree Mode Sub-sites, folders, lists etc… Differential - backs up all new data since the last full backup Actual contents within the folders, document names in shared documents, Where to backup individual announcements in announcements…etc How to handle to backup data in terms of data retention and security -compression and encryption

19 Oxford TSM Symposium 2007 IBM Tivoli Software Backup Plans - Granularity

Can Create Item Level, Subsite Level and Site Level Backup plans – Item-level To restore single objects (single documents, specific versions of a document, list items, attachments within list items), areas, subareas, customized layouts, and portal links – Subsite-level To restore entire subsites – Site-lllevel Fastest backup

Whyyypp Granularity on backup plans? – Flexibility - Every environment is different – Using the different levels of backup plans you can ensure that backups can be run with maximum efficiency, and restores can be fast Restores – A Site-level backup can be restored to a Site (very fast) – A Subsite-level backup can be restored to a Subsite (very fast) – Item level backups can restore individual items (fast) and also complete Sites (slow) Recommended Backup Strategy: – Full Site and Full Item level backups weekly – Item level backups daily incremental

20 Oxford TSM Symposium 2007 IBM Tivoli Software Recovery

RtRestores are qui ikdilck and simple:

Select the Media Server where the backup data is stored

Select the Agent Host to browse the backup plan

SltthfldSelect the folder w here thdthe documen titt is store d

Browse through the backup data to find the file you are looking to restore.

Check the boxes to select the documents or items you wish to restore.

Specify Restore Options to choose whether you want the restore to overwrite, not overwrite, or append to the data currently in place

21 Oxford TSM Symposium 2007 IBM Tivoli Software Other important features

BbdGUIBrowser based GUI

– Allows administrators to access it from any computer on the network

Encryption and Compression

– Encryption and Compression of data can be done on either the client side or on the Media Server

Ease of installation

– A few mou se clicks to install each component gets y ou u p and ru nning qu ickly

Search for data to restore

– Search on the site name, sub-site name, list name, folder name or file name to quickly restore data – Can also search on item attributes such as the name of the creator.

22 Oxford TSM Symposium 2007 IBM Tivoli Software Other important features

Discovery o f new items – Automatically pickup new items that are created underneath the levels you selected in your backup plan – Example: if you select Shared Documents folder to be backed up, and a new document is created, that document is automatically backed up

Restore In Place / Out of place

– Individual items, sub-sites or entire sites can be restored in place or out of place – In-place restore restores the item back to its original location, good for replacing lost or deleted documents – Out-of-place restore restores the item to a new location, good for copying data across folders, sites, and portals
