Sharepoint Backup application in .net c#
-
Hi, I would like to know if you can help me, I started working with Sharepoint about 2 weeks ago. Now, I work for a company that develops SP Sites etc. for other clients. I receiverd the task of creating an application with a user interface that backups what you choose to backup. This must be a full on working application where you can choose the site, then subsites, custom web parts and custom master pages to backup. You must also be able to backup an entire site from the application. I come from a web development background but have never worked with backups etc...so I have no clue where to begin. I have spoken to my senior and he saiod that we would have to build everything from scratch and that we would not be able to use either the integrated Sharepoint.Administration.Backup or stsAdm. Someone said I must look at the SPExport commands and to export the site as a template. I cannot find sufficient info regarding backing up the site on the net as it is only the usual. Have anyone done something like this before? Please help Jurie

Hello Jurie, Three Methods to take Backup and Restore Operations 1. Using STSADM Command 2. Using SharePoint Designer 3. Using Central Administration Select any one Method According to your requirement using STSADM we can take backup of total Site Collection using SharePoint Designer we ca take Backup of Single Site or Subsites in Site Collection and we can do restore operation using SharePoint Desinger too ... using Central Administration we can take Backup of total Server Farm plzz let me know if you need more information and steps to do.....
