Search and Restore SharePoint Items

SharePoint and IT administrators are often asked to locate and restore documents that meet certain criteria. Whether for business needs such as finding and restoring all documents and items related to a recent product launch; or for an IT need, such as consolidating or reorganizing SharePoint sites - the need to quickly locate, restore and export SharePoint items is one of the more common needs faced by SharePoint administrators.

Ontrack^® PowerControls^™ meets this need by providing 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 – and even preview the selected items before restoring.

If you want to locate a specific item type, Ontrack PowerControls allows you to load all of the item types from your source files and then search for specific types.

The flexibility to restore either an entire database or granular items without a recovery server significantly reduces the time it takes SharePoint administrators to restore or consolidate site(s) and individual items.

Drag and Drop

Copying or exporting SharePoint items or entire sites from a source into a target location takes only a simple drag-and-drop operation with your mouse. The entire process of searching for the items you need, extracting those items from your backups and copying them out to your production server or another location can be performed up to 90% faster with Ontrack PowerControls than with traditional search-and-restore methods.

Data Integrity

Ontrack PowerControls performs read-only operations on your source files; keeping the metadata intact throughout the restoration process.
