Recover SharePoint

Applies To: System Center 2012 - Orchestrator, System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator, System Center 2012 SP1 - Orchestrator

The Recover SharePoint activity is used to configure a runbook that recovers a SharePoint farm (configuration and data) to its original location or to a network folder.

Be aware that the term Network Folder is used in this integration pack in the same way that it is used in the Data Protection Manager user interface. Choosing Network Folder recovers to a local path on a production server. Therefore, the selection of Network Folder requires the name of a production server and a local path on that production server.

For the procedure to configure this object, see: Configuring the Recover SharePoint Activity.

The following tables list the properties and published data for this activity. The activity publishes all the data from the required and optional properties into published data.
