Hello,
we currently have a SharePoint 2013 production environment which has 1 webapplication with 4 site collections and 1 content database. Remote Blob Storage (filestream) is configured and contains roughly 150000 items.
Due to several reasons, RBS has to go and we want to do following things:
– Separate the 4 site collections in their own content database
– Stop using RBS Filestream and move everything into SQL.
What’s the best way to approach this?
Migrate RBS into SQL first and use move-spsite to split the database or first split the database and specify the RBSprovider first and migrate the RBS into SQL afterwards?
I also read an article where a backup-spsite is done for a RBS enabled site collection. After the backup, the site collection is deleted and restored to a db where no RBS is configured. Since the backup-spsite command also does a backup of the RBS store, a restore would move everything into the content DB. Is this correct?
TIA,
Bart
