How to Perform SCCM Site Recovery

Question

Hello,

Can a step-by-step guide be provided for a successful SCCM site recovery? What prerequisites and considerations should be taken into account before initiating the recovery process?

Additionally, what are the recommended backup and restore strategies for SCCM? Are there specific tools or methods that can be used to ensure a smooth and efficient site recovery in case of a disaster or system failure?

Any insights or recommendations on performing an SCCM site recovery, as well as best practices for backup and restore, would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the official documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/servers/manage/recover-sites

and here is something from systemCenterDudes, who I generally trust: https://www.systemcenterdudes.com/how-to-perform-a-sccm-site-recovery/

If you have specific questions not covered by that guidance, perhaps you can elaborate? Since people may have vastly different site configurations (CAS or no CAS; Off-box SQL or on-box SQL, Multiple Providers, connected to intune or not; the list can get long of different configs that MIGHT affect how you do a site recovery), it's hard to give you a specific-to-exactly-what-you-have step-by-step guide.
