Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Unleashed

Summary

For SharePoint 2010 administrators, the wide array of options to back up content and configuration can be quite daunting. However, with the correct mix of these options based on the business requirements, SharePoint configuration and content can be backed up and restored effectively without any loss to the business. Although backup and restore functionality has been removed from SharePoint Designer 2010, granular backup and restore via central administration or SharePoint 2010 Management Shell is a more effective and efficient mechanism in situations that require recovery of content.
