What's New in Tivoli® Storage Manager for Microsoft SharePoint V5.4?

Customers are increasingly depending on Microsoft™ SharePoint Portal and Windows™ SharePoint Services to store, manage and access documents across their enterprise. With this growth of business critical data and content within the SharePoint environment, customers want to manage and protect this data. IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager for Microsoft SharePoint, the newest member of the Tivoli Storage Manager family, allows you to quickly and confidently restore your Microsoft SharePoint business data and content due to a business interruption of almost any kind.

Highlights of V5.4:

• Backup and recovery of Microsoft SharePoint Portal 2003 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 environments.
• Granular item-level backup and restore capability.
• Ability to restore portals, top level sites, subsites, and individual document libraries, attachments, lists, folders, areas, and sub areas.
• Schedule full, incremental, or differential backup at the site-level, subsite-level, and item-level, and preserves all meta-data versions.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Microsoft SharePoint is a policy-based backup and recovery solution that provides full, incremental, or differential backup at the site-level, subsite-level, and item-level for Microsoft SharePoint Portal 2003, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and Windows SharePoint Services V2.0 and V3.0 environments.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Microsoft SharePoint granular restore capability includes the ability to restore the portal, top-level sites, subsites, document libraries, lists, folders, areas, and sub areas. An easy-to-use browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) allows administrators to easily define policies for SharePoint backup and recovery, perform in and out of place restores, and centrally control the administration of user accounts and access privileges.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for SharePoint integration with the Tivoli Storage Manager server allows SharePoint data to be stored on any of the numerous devices supported by the Tivoli Storage Manager Server and manages SharePoint data as part of the Tivoli Storage Manager hierarchy of storage. You can create (synchronous or asynchronous) copies of SharePoint backup data for off-site protection. The ability of the Tivoli Storage Manager server to reclaim space from media as SharePoint data expires can lead to cost savings in media.

Administrators that have struggled to provide a reasonable level of service using the native backup tools provided with SharePoint or who are currently using SharePoint backup and restore solutions that are not integrated with the rest of their backup and restore infrastructure should find IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for SharePoint a welcome relief.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Microsoft SharePoint integration with the Tivoli Storage Manager server provides:

• Support for the devices supported by Tivoli Storage Manager.
• Benefits of the Tivoli Storage Manager SharePoint server hierarchy of storage:
  • Automatic, policy-based management of stored objects.
  • Automatic migration to lower pools in hierarchy.
  • Automatic space reclamation.
  • Copying of data for disaster protection (synchronously with initial store or asynchronously).
  • Migration of data to new storage technologies.
