Hi there,
For some reasons I have had to reinstall my WSS 3 and restore the data. Until now I thought, that the backup command "STSADM.EXE -o backup -url https://server.domain.com/sites/it -filename C:\temp\backup-it.dat -backupmethod full" would save ALL data on that site and beneath, but as I mention now all existing web sites under IT (for example .../it/knowledge) were not saved! So I only have the original sql data files (for example "WSS_Content_9f3ca79009734f9a8bdf85dd995b6e21. mdf) and I have NO IDEA if and how I can restore the data within. Any suggestion would be VERY, VERY appreciated!!! C. |

Thank you, I will try this, even this article is about wss 2!
But: Is there no other possibility for example with some sql commands or maybe the "addcontentdb" option on stsadm.exe? Any help ... C. "Lisa Parris" wrote: [..] |

I haven't tried it on 3.0 so I'm not sure. My main suggestion would be that
if this is a production site and time is of the essence you should call Microsoft. "Christian" <Christian> wrote in message news:bc59 [..] |

Hello Lisa,
Thank you very much for your answers! Finally I have managed to restore almost all data with the "normal" restore- except for the last day on which one of our chiefs had used the WSS 8 hours for a lot of data input :-( Today I have tried to restore this data also, but without any success, so I will check my backup policy in the future. The problem with WSS (and I guess with SP 2007 too) is the "not existing documentation": You you have to search through a lot of locations to find help (or not!). I have learned my lesson and will double check my backup strategy ... Thanks again & best wishes from Germany, C. |

MAKE MY DAY!
It works! Actually I have taken the "GUI way", but I guess your way will also work and I will try it later! Anyway: I have now find a solution for restoring data(bases) in WSS, if the configurtion is lost by some circumstances ... Great answer, great job, great beginning of the week :-) Thanks again, Christian P.S.: Next time I will try to wait a little longer for the answer ... |
