Hello,

Does anyone know how to restore a backup that has differentials that were
backup up during the week?

We are using WSS 3.0 & SQL 2005. We are trying to determine our plans for
backups. We know you can use the STSADM tool to backup the whole farm and
also backup using the differential switch. Is there a way to backup the full
and the differentials?

Thanks,
Paul D.

Hi Paul,
the SQL databases that are used in WSS 3.0 works like any other database in
SQL.

What i mean is that you could do any type of backup that you'd like.. Full,
Diff. etc.

The best way (i think) is to do a full backup of sharepoint either from
Central Administration > Operations > Perform a Backup
or through SQL.
