Re: Restore MOSS 2007

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Well perhaps I should get into the specific error I am getting. I create a web application and perform a restore using the Central Administration (as described in that link you sent me). I am only trying to restore the port 80 web application and content database.

On restoring the content database I get the error

"Object WSS_ContentC (previous name: WSS_Content) failed in event OnPostRestore. For more information, see the error log located in the backup directory. SPUpgradeException: The specified SPContentDatabase Name=WSS_ContentC Parent=SPDatabaseServiceInstance has been upgraded to a newer version of SharePoint. Please upgrade this SharePoint application server before attempting to access this object."

When I try to load the web application, it gives me a 404.

Now this site started out as one running on the SQL express edition. It was moved to SQL 2005 and now I am trying to restore it to SQL 2005.

Hello customer,

Thanks for posting in the newsgroups.

From your description, you want to know an aritcle that explain how to
backup/restore/migrate MOSS 2007 farm.

I would recommend you refer to the following article on TechNet library.
This article will guide you through the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
2007 backup and restore/migrate process using the SharePoint Central
Administration Web site user interface or the Stsadm.exe command-line tool.
The method provided in the article below is recommended and supported by
Microsoft.

Using the built-in tools of Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can back up
and restore an entire server farm or specific Web applications and content
databases. These built-in tools allow you to keep elements of your server
farm, such as search and the Shared Services Provider, synchronized when
backing up and restoring.

Note: Backup and recovery will not back up and restore the following:
- The configuration database can be backed up but not restored.
- Any custom solutions that have been deployed
- Alternate access mappings
- The Web application that hosts the SharePoint Central Administration Web
site
- The Central Administration content database
- The Internet Information Services metabase, Internet Information
Services-specific settings, and the Web.config file.
