Site BackUp and Restore

BackUp 

To take the backup use the below commands

• Backup-SPSite Site_URL -Path Location_And_name_Of_Bacup_File
• Get-SPSiteAdministration Site_URL | Backup-SPSite -Path Location_And_name_Of_Bacup_File

Examples:

1. Backup-SPSite http://server_name/sites/site_name -Path C:\Backup\site_name.bak
2. Get-SPSiteAdministration http://server_name/sites/site_name | Backup-SPSite -Path C:\Backup\site_name.bak

Both examples above perform the same operation, but different ways to do the Backup.

Restore

To do restore use the below commands

• Restore-SPSite Site_URL -Path Bacup_File_Path
• Restore-SPSite Site_URL -Path Bacup_File_Path -Force -DatabaseServer SQLServ1 -DatabaseName SQLBD1

Examples:

1. Restore-SPSite http://server_name/sites/site_name -Path C:\Backup\site_name.bak
2. Restore-SPSite http://server_name/sites/site_name -Path C:\Backup\site_name.bak -Force -DatabaseServer SQLBE1 -DatabaseName SQLDB1

This example restores a site collection backup from the backup file C:\Backup\site_name.bak, but overwrites the existing site collection at http://server_name/sites/site_name while specifying that the site collection must be stored in a specific content database

Attach an existing content database to the farm in SharePoint

• Mount-SPContentDatabase "MYDatabse" -DatabseServer "MyServer" -WebApplication WebApp_URL

Exaple:

1. Mount-SPContentDatabase "MYDatabse" -DatabseServer "MyServer" -WebApplication http://sitename
