Metalogix Selective Restore Manager Pro for SharePoint Receives Five-Star Rating by SharePointReviews.com

Metalogix SharePoint Backup and Restore Product Awarded Five Out of Five Stars by Expert in “the World’s Largest SharePoint Product Directory”

WALTHAM, Mass., October 8, 2009 – Metalogix Software, a leading provider of email archiving solutions for Microsoft Exchange® as well as SharePoint migration, management, archiving, and recovery solutions, today announced that Metalogix Selective Restore Manager Pro for SharePoint received the highest possible rating in a recent product review by SharePointReviews.com. SharePointReviews.com editor, Mike Ferrara, gave the Metalogix SharePoint backup and restore solution five out of five stars as a solution that “plugged a big hole...when needing to restore documents quickly.”

Selective Restore Manager Pro for SharePoint restores all content, from individual documents and list items to entire sites, from your native SharePoint backups, without requiring a SharePoint recovery farm. It makes organizations more efficient by eliminating the hardware costs, software licenses and IT staff time required to build a recovery farm as well as avoiding costly proprietary backup formats.

According to Ferrara, “For server administrators, backup and restore processes are essential in production environments. This is obviously no different for SharePoint farms, but out-of-the-box (OOTB) features for backup and restore are certainly lacking in WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007. The Selective Restore Manager Pro from Metalogix is one such product that aims to fill the void left by Microsoft... If you run a critical SharePoint shop, then this product can help keep your mind at ease when you will inevitably need to restore lost or deleted data. I highly recommend this product, and you should at the very least download the trial to see how it can help you.”

SharePointReviews.com evaluated Metalogix Selective Restore Manager Pro by testing it in a number of categories including installation, usage, save/copy and compare/restore. Some of the significant advantages identified by Ferrara in the article include:

  • “Very lightweight requiring only about 5MB of hard drive space and 256MB of RAM
  • Can be installed on remote client machines rather than on the server
  • Very low impact on server resources
  • Can read/write from any machine on the domain connected to the farm
  • Can restore individual SharePoint items and documents to the local machine”

“We are honored to receive top marks from SharePointReviews.com as a five-star product,” said Chris Risley, CEO, Metalogix. “Selective Restore Manager Pro for SharePoint makes it simple to find the one document or list item you need without rebuilding your entire production database, or deploying a temporary SharePoint recovery farm. Instead, Selective Restore Manager Pro lets you connect directly to your native SQL Server backup files, and navigate them as though they were live SharePoint sites.”
