1. SQL Server DB for Project Server 2007 Disaster RecoveryEduardo CastroGrupo Asesor en Informáticahttp://www.grupoasesor.net

2. Session Objectives And Takeaways Session Objective(s): Where is my EPM data stored ? Discuss what are the options to backup any components of your SharePoint/EPM Farm Session will not cover in details backup/restore plan and all high availability options Learn how to recover your data Learn how to recover from a catastrophic failure on your EPM Farm

3. Backup/Restore Content Recovery Backup And Restore Types Disaster Recovery Farm or Database Restore Hardware Failure or Disaster Hardware Migration or Replacement Minimize Downtime Large Amounts of Data Redundancy Additional Hardware End user driven Accidental update or deletion Frequent and small-scale

4. Content Recovery Solutions EPM Administrative backup EPM Settings backup Recycle Bin Versioning

5. EPM Components

6. EPM Content (Where Is My Data) EPM Data (4 Databases) Project Enterprise Resource Enterprise Custom Fields Enterprise Global (…) EPM Data in SharePoint (Content DB) Documents Risks Issues Deliverables

7. EPM Data EPM Administrative Backup/Restore Use of the Project_Archive Database Define the retention level (versions) Driven by EPM functional administrator Can be scheduled Define the retention level (policy) “Oops I have deleted my project!”

8. EPM Data Pros Consistent Data No IT involvement You can use API to give more flexibility Cons All data is saved Not a backup or high availability solution Beware of space, depending on number of versions kept

9. EPM Administrative Backup demo

10. EPM 2007 Resource Kit Released !!

11. EPM 2007 Resource Kit tools Portfolio Analyzer Views Migration Project Server Settings Backup and Restore (Playbooks) Project Server Data Populator Project Workspace Site Relinker View Effective Rights

12. EPM Settings Backup/Restore Project Server 2007 Settings For example to move a configuration from/to differentenvironments Development/Integration/Production New tool in EPM 2007 Resource kit PlayBooks “How do I copy Project Server 2007 settings from development to production ?”

13. Playbooks

14. EPM Settings Pros No need to transfer the EPM data Clean way to work with several environments Backup your settings and keep history Cons Not a backup or high availability solution

15. EPM Data In SharePoint SharePoint lists Issues, Risks, Deliverables Documents Recover Content SharePoint Recycle bin Versions

16. Recycle Bin “I just deleted my deck and my presentation is in an hour!” End User Driven Supports Lists, Document Libraries, Folders, Documents, and List Items Two Stages End User Site Collection Administrator Site Collection Level

17. Versioning Pros Supports both List Item and Document versioning End users can retrieve earlier versions Cons Versions count towards site quota Functionality needs to be enabled per List/Document Library (Disabled by Default) Does not support Folders, Webs and/or Sites “I made some changes but now I want to go back to a previous version!”

18. Backup/Restore Content Recovery Backup And Restore Types Disaster Recovery Farm or Database Restore Hardware Failure or Disaster Hardware Migration or Replacement Minimize Downtime Large Amounts of Data Redundancy Additional Hardware End user errors Accidental update or deletion Frequent and small-scale

19. Disaster RecoveryBackup and restore solutions SharePoint Backup/Restore SQL Server Backup and Restore System Center DPM 2007 (Data Protection Manager) Third-Party Solutions Use when hardware fails, and as a last resort for service level agreement.

20. “I have a small to medium deployment. Do you have anything for me out of the box? SharePoint Backup/Restore Yes! Out of the box Backup/Restore UI and Command Line for Central Administrators Wondering… Our recommended solution for small-medium deployments Database Size < 200 GB

21. SharePoint Backup/RestoreHow it works Farm Central Admin Console File Server SQL Backup/Restore

22. SharePoint Backup/RestoreDetails Out of the Box UI and command line access for Central Administrator ‘Hooks up’ SharePoint databases and search index on Restore Supports Full and Differential backup Backs up the search index (MOSS only) Extensible framework for 3rd party applications

23. SharePoint Backup/RestoreLimitations Use the command line with Windows Task Scheduler for scheduled backups Backs up content, SSP, EPM Databases and search index You must manually backup front end files We recommend you keep images of your web front ends High restore time  Low availability

24. Command line %CommonProgramFiles%Microsoft SharedWeb Server Extensions12inStsadm –o backup –directory HAREBackup –backupmethod full > D:LOGSLog_backup.txt

25. Configuring SharePoint Backup/Restore demo Part 1

26. Full FarmRecoveryProcess

27. Solution For Each Scenario For Disaster Recovery To create a backup farm Use stsadm –o backup/restore To migrate a site collection Use stsadm –o backup http://server/site To migrate a site/list/library/item Use stsadm –o export/import for sites Use Site Manager within Site collection Project Server 2007 Resource kit tool Project Workspace Site RelinkerRelinkAllWSSSites

28. SQL-Only Backup/Restore Pros Reuse existing technology and processes Non-application specific Can be faster than SharePoint backup Can back up to tape Remember Post-restore reattachment and clean up Search index must be backed up separately via SharePoint backup for MOSS “My SQL servers are managed by a separate organization or data center from my SharePoint installations.”

29. System Center DPM(Data Protection Manager) Content database > 100 GB Site Collection largerthan 12 GB Webcast http://blogs.technet.com/dpm/archive/2008/01/10/how-to-protect-sharepoint-with-dpm2007-new-streaming-video.aspx

30. DPM 2007 and SharePoint 2007 DPM can be used to recover content items, sites, and farms. For more information, see: How to Recover a Windows SharePoint Services Item (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=102815&clcid=0x409) How to Recover a Windows SharePoint Services Site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=102826&clcid=0x409) How to Recover a Windows SharePoint Services Farm (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=102831&clcid=0x409)

31. 3rd Party Backup Tools What to look for in a 3rd party solution Does it back up the Search Index? Does it require post-restore manual work SharePoint integration with VSS framework Easier for 3rd parties to write custom backup/restore tools Entire server (search index is included) Only supports catastrophic overwrite scenario (not migration) “I want to use a custom or 3rd party tool to backup/restore my farm! Does SharePoint support that?”

32. Backup/Restore Content Recovery Backup And Restore Types Disaster Recovery Farm or Database Restore Hardware Failure or Disaster Hardware Migration or Replacement Minimize Downtime Large Amounts of Data Redundancy Additional Hardware End user errors Accidental update or deletion Frequent and small-scale

33. High Availability And Disaster Recovery Solutions Installation Scenarios Web Front End Availability Database Availability Log Shipping SQL Clustering

35. Application Server Role

36. Database Server RoleAppropriate for limited use-scenarios including the following Installing Office Project Server 2007 for evaluation purposes Deploying only Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Deploying Office Project Server 2007 for a limited purpose (such as for a single department) or for a limited number of users

37. Web Servers Clustered/Mirrored SQL Server Application Server High AvailabilityMulti-server farm scenario Optimizes performance of web servers Increases redundancy and reduces points of failure Redundancy at WFE and Database server roles Determine configuration based on your business needs and goals Determine config of other Application roles (PSI, Excel Services, Index, Forms, etc) Multiple Application Servers don’t give you fault tolerance You will need to remove any failed server from the farm – MOM can help you here

38. SQL Failover Clustering “If my SQL server blows up (hardware failure), how do I keep my EPM/SharePoint farm running?” Unattended application availability: automatic failover capability without administrator intervention Shared cluster name means no app awareness necessary SharePoint Web Front Ends Server Cluster Heartbeat Node B Node A Shared Disk Array

39. Log-Shipping Backup/Restore based technology that relies on transaction log files Need to have a shared folder that contains the log file backups Configure the frequency of backups and shipping No automatic failover Allows you to replicate data to several databases (one to many) Recommended to use Log Marking to keep databases in sync

40. Log Shipping At A Glance Each action is governed by a separate SQLjob and can be controlled andscheduled independently SQL Agent on primary server backs uptransaction log to primary share SQL Agent on secondary server copies thetransaction log its own local share SQL Agent on secondary server restorestransaction log to the local database

41. Clustering Versus Mirroring Versus Log Shipping

42. What about DB Mirroring? Good News: DB Mirroringnumericlimitincreasedfrom 10 to 50* (07/24/2008) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262910.aspx

43. Putting It All Together What is your RTO/RPO? What does your EPM/SharePoint environment look like? What scenarios concern you?

44. What Is Your RTO/RPO? RTO (Recovery Time Objective) = How long can my app be down before the business falls apart? RPO (Recovery Point Objective) = How much data loss can be tolerated before the business falls apart? RTO and RPO are the most important factors to your overall DR strategy!

45. RTO and RPO affect The strategies you deploy The technologies you choose The simplicity of your solution The location of your environments

46. What Scenario’s Concern You? Hardware Failures? Infrastructure Problems? Application Problems? Facilities/Power Failures? Local or Regional Disasters?
