We are using Idera (http://www.idera.com/Content/Home.aspx) for backups and
also looked at the products from AvePoint
(http://www.avepoint.com/sharepoint-products/) as well. For our company it
came down to features and cost. With Idera, we have a product that can do
backups and can do granular recovery very easily. That also makes other tools
that make managing SharePoint a lot easier. Ave Point is another suite of
tools that offers a lot in terms of management and backups.
The trade-off for us is that backups go to disk and there is a secondary step
in terms of recovery. The problem is that SharePoint is such a unique
application, that it requires a lot of administrative effort and there is a lot
of room from error from end-users (especially that site admins can delete their
entire sites pretty easily). After looking at what the tools offered, compared
to the cost of for the various options, we thought we got more for the money
with the Idera toolset. I'm not here to bash the NMM plugin, but we have a DSE
and he even mentioned that the first iteration of the module was rushed to
market, which is why I think it's buggy and not well implemented. Like someone
mentioned it is the future for all of the MS plugins, so we will have to get
use to it, but for us the other tools made more sense for the money.

Hi Dan.
The other tool you mention to backup SarePoint. What is it? I'm very interested
in knowing what others are using with positive results to backup SharePoint. We
are very unhappy about NMM.
We have used the NMM module to backup everything Microsoft. It's very fragile
even now with NMM 2.2 build 96. It's very complex to setup and needs too much
configuration on the client, but also on the NetWorker server. EMC seems too
have limited resources to support NMM and that has given us too much headaches.
I hope EMC is going to either do something drastic with NMM or start with
something new.

I believe the correct method for the later version of SharePoint (2007) is to
use Networker Module for Microsoft Applications (NMM). We investigated it at
our company but found that other tools exist that do a better job of granular
recovery that required less headaches than NMM could do. Plus, the other
tools out provided more admin and maintenance features than just backup/restore
for recovery. Also, at the time when we looked at it, NMM didn't seem to be
very stable and there was very little documentation other than the admin guide
(which I thought was very weak).

Hi, i am reviewing some options for backup of a share point server. Am i
correct in that the method to backup shrepoint is to use the module application
for share point servers rather than a SQL agent backup?
