Cost Effective Solution
Selective Restore Manager simplifies the process of restoring individual documents, items, lists and document libraries. Administrators can save money by avoiding third-party, proprietary backup formats. Additionally, Selective Restore Manager reduces the footprint of your backup and restore infrastructure by enhancing rather than replacing native functionality within SharePoint and SQL Server. It works seamlessly with your native SharePoint SQL Server backup files so there is no need to for an organization to use a proprietary backup format or rely on expensive third-party backup solutions to achieve 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 prevents organizations from having to rebuild the entire production database just to recover a single item, driving down costs. Documents and list items 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 and surveys 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. All restore operations are done through the supported SharePoint APIs. There are no unsupported, direct writes to any SharePoint database.
Simple Deployment
Selective Restore Manager takes only minutes to install and requires only the .Net Framework (version 2.0), and access to a SQL Server instance. No dedicated server is required. Selective Restore Manager can be installed on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 (32-bit or 64-bit editions).
