Hi All,

I create hourly backups of my whole sharepoint-Portal with the following
command which is run by the task scheduler:
SPSBackup /all /file %BackupserverShare%%Date%%Time%Portalsitebackup

Is there any chance to automatically restore the backupfiles, which are
created by SPSBackup, for example into an emergency server?
I can easily manually restore a whole sharepoint-portal (created with
spsbackup) using the GUI of SPSBackup - BUT I haven't found any option yet
to automatically restore such a backup every two hours to an emergency
server!

How can I automatically replicate a sharepoint-portal from server A to
emergency server B? Is a replication of the MS SQL-DB the only option I
have?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers, jan

We had to write our own exe to perform a nightly backup. Unfortunately
I can not give you a copy of the code. but I can point you in the
correct direction.

Start by instantiating a SPGlobalAdmin object and work your way down to
the SPSite object. You will want to build a command line string that
call the stsadm.exe for each site. then all you have to do is execute
and compete command.

Obviously it is not as easy as it sounds, but that is the only way that
we have found to do a consistent nightly backup.
