Guys,
Can someone please provide me the SharePoint 2013 Backup PowerShell Script?
We need to :
– Take a Weekly back up of the Farm
– Daily differential backup including site collection
– Run a scheduled clean-up job to delete the old backup files once in 14 days
– The should generate an email and notify the administrators
When we take a full/diff backup of the farm and site collection, does that include the document library aswell?
Can someone please provide me the script the explain the steps on how to take a backup of the documents in the site?
Thanks in Advance
I think that you should take a look at these sharepoint backup solutions and find the one that suits you the most. This article helped me out a lot when I was searching for the backup option myself.
Many different ways to crack that nut… I have used the complete backup from the SharePoint server to backup the entire farm, but it is pretty slow depending on the size of the content databases.
I ended up implementing a variation of a recommendation from Ulrich Gerting Bojko on this website http://www.getinthesky.com/2013/06/sharepoint-backup-best-practice/#comment-5551
The overall strategy is based on the following:
- Powershell scripts running on Task Scheduler from the SharePoint Server for configuration and service applications nightly.
- Native SQL Server backups for the content databases (ie. WSS_Content). Nightly
- Finally, a host image backup. We are using HyperV so we also are replicating the HyperV images to another off-site location.
Also, the SQL Server and the SharePoint servers are protected by Shadow Protect.
