- Deletes and recreates the folder structure for the backup target share
- Backs up site collections using stsadm (you will need to add the site collections that you wish to backup)
- Performs a farm backup using stsadm
- Copies the 12 hive across
- Performs an IIS metabase backup and copies the inetpub folder across
- Copies the Global Assembly Cache
For it to work, you will need to create a share on your backup server called "Backup" with the following permissions:
- SharePoint setup/administrator account - Full Control
- SQL Service Account - Full Control
- SharePoint Service/Server Farm Account - Full Control
Run the following command line on the backup server to do this for you:
NET SHARE Backup=D:\Backup /GRANT:DOMAIN\SPAdmin,FULL /GRANT:DOMAIN\SQLSVC,FULL /GRANT:DOMAIN\SPSVC,FULL
And here is the backup script:
@echo off

echo Backup SharePoint Farm

echo Backing up site collections

echo Backing up farm
stsadm.exe -o backup -directory \\BACKUPSERVER\Backup\SharePoint\ -backupmethod full
echo Backing up 12 hive
xcopy "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12" \\BACKUPSERVER\Backup\SharePoint\12 /s /e /c /h /f /r /k
echo Backing up IIS

echo Backup operation finished
