Backup exec 2014 Sharepoint 2013 file to NTFS restore.

[Xavi]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a case with symantec about the failed restore form the sharepoin to itself but this is not what this forum is about.

For testing purposes i tried to restore a file from a sharepoint backup to a local disk to see if i at least was able to recover a file. I ended up with this error:

e000ff23 - Backup Exec does not support the redirected restore of individual items from SharePoint Server 2013 to an NTFS file system.
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-65315

(The link is broken so I didn't bother adding it)

My question is: Is the restore of individual items from SharePoint Server 2013 to NTFS possible in BE 15?

No, see this article:

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO99499.html

Backup Exec can extract and re-insert files directly into a SharePoint 2013 content database. However, the files cannot be selected for file system level redirection. SharePoint 2013 content databases files are stored as BLOBS, but in a shredded format. As a result, Backup Exec cannot redirect the restore of the shredded BLOBS to a file system.
