Ontrack PowerControls

SharePoint Solutions - Overview

Ontrack® PowerControls allows administrators to quickly and easily find, recover and restore Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server items - such as documents, lists, libraries and folders–or entire SharePoint sites.

The software tool is designed to make granular restoration of SharePoint items a much faster and easier process. By eliminating the need to restore an entire SharePoint backup, just to recover a few items, Ontrack PowerControls makes it easier for an administrator to locate exactly the items they need and copy and export those items back into the production SharePoint environment or to an alternate location.

Restore SharePoint Items in Less Time, for Less Cost

Fully restoring a SharePoint site from a previous backup or from a snapshot can be a time-consuming and expensive process using traditional methods. Ontrack PowerControls gives you a much better option for restoring individual items, lists, libraries and folders. By directly reading your existing content database backups, and allowing you to find and restore only the items or sites you need, Ontrack PowerControls saves you significant time and eliminates the need for a recovery server.

Eliminate Same-Site Restore Constraints

Many SharePoint backup and recovery programs only allow you to restore the data to the same or a duplicate server. Ontrack PowerControls does not have this constraint. Restore items directly to a production SharePoint server, another SharePoint server or to a file system.

Spend Less Time Searching

SharePoint and IT administrators are often asked to locate and restore documents that meet certain criteria. These items may be located across multiple data sources - forcing the administrator to fully restore each backup and locate the items they need. Ontrack PowerControls provides an Advanced Find feature that can search across all content databases in an archived SharePoint file, rather than bringing an old backup or snapshot back online for analysis. Search by numerous criteria - including item type, keywords, subject, dates, specified users, and file/attachment data.

Maintain Data Integrity

When requests for SharePoint data restoration arise due to a legal or compliance matter, it can be critical to keep the metadata of restored items intact. Ontrack PowerControls does not change the metadata of the SharePoint source or target and maintains data integrity by performing read-only operations on the source files.

Reduce Risks and Keep Your Backup Processes Intact

Ontrack PowerControls runs on a Windows® based workstation, does not install on your SharePoint server, and requires no complicated pre-installation configurations of SharePoint or Microsoft® SQL Server®. Keep your backup process and your SharePoint environment exactly the way it is today.
