Use Your Existing Native Backups
With Selective Restore Manager, you no longer need to rebuild your entire production database, or worry about deploying a SharePoint recovery farm, just to recover an individual document or list item. Instead, Selective Restore Manager works seamlessly with your native SharePoint SQL Server backup files so there is no need to to use a proprietary backup format or rely on expensive third-party proprietary backup formats to gain granular restore functionality.
Rapidly Respond to Restore Requests
With Selective Restore Manager, administrators can easily open and browse existing SQL Server backup files as though they were live SharePoint sites. Any item or document may be restored directly to the production environment, without requiring a temporary SharePoint recovery farm. This frees organizations from having to rebuild the entire production database just to recover a single item, lowering costs. Anything from a single list item or document to a site collection can be easily be recovered directly to the production environment, or to any new SharePoint server.
Easily Restore All Types of Content and Retain Valuable Metadata
Selective Restore Manager gives administrators the ease and freedom to restore all types of content, including individual documents, list items and folders from a backup file in one easy time. Additionally, the solution makes it simple to restore document libraries, picture libraries, issues, tasks, contacts, announcements, discussions, calendars, surveys and workflows all from existing backup files. These documents can be restored directly to the original production environment or to a new location within any SharePoint server on your network. Selective Restore Manager also preserves important metadata, views, version chains, permissions and authorship information while performing recovery operations.
Run A Differential Report on Backup Files
Speed up the process of reviewing backed up data with Selective Restore Manager's powerful differential reporting capabilities. Users can easily compare content between two backup files, or between a backup file and the live SharePoint site, to instantly see what has been added, modified or deleted.
Microsoft Compliant
All restore operations are done through the supported SharePoint APIs. There are no unsupported, direct writes to any SharePoint database, so you won’t void your existing Microsoft support agreements for SharePoint.
