Backup Software

Although SharePoint 2010 products include built-in backup capability, the tools used are not enterprise level and do not have built-in scheduling, item-level restore, or robust alerting capabilities. It is subsequently recommended to purchase and install enterprise backup software. This may include software from a number of third-party vendors, or it may include a solution from Microsoft such as System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010. Backup and restore is discussed in more detail in Chapter 10, “Backing Up and Restoring a SharePoint Environment.”
