SharePoint GRT restore for vm backed up by VMware Agnet BE 2012

[lampar]

I have good GRT selected backup for my Sharepoint done from my wm using VMware agent.

I need to restore induvidual item, how I can do it?

[CraigV]

You would go to the server you want to restore from, select the date range, and then the item you want to restore.

Thanks!

That is that I expected, and that I'm doing for Exchaneg and SQL.

But there is no data ragne 

I have only File, Folders, or volumes

      File and Folder Backup

      File and folders located through Search

Microsoft SharePoint Server data

      SharePiont farm components

             MS SharePoint Resources

                    Global Settings

                     Shared Services

                           Shared Services Applications

                                 Fast Query SSA

                                 Fast Content

                                 Search Service Application

there is no   SharePoint induvidual items

no    SharePoint web applications or portal sites

no MS SharePoint items located through Search ?!?!?!?

As it is vmware backup, please note if it is exchange DAG and you are doing app GRT backup then it is not supported as in DAG roles seperated on different server to run, in same way for your sharepoint if sharpoint and SQL database used for sharepoint are on different virtual machine then will not work. Have you tried doing backup with sharepoint agent directly and checked whether it works or not. Thanks

...not sure what an Exchange DAG has anything to do with SharePoint!

[Ben_L_]

Is this a standalone sharepoint server (i.e. Sharepoint and SQL are on the same server) or is it a multiple server farm?

[lampar]

Share Piont and SQL on two different servers, but on the same farm.

I have two separate job for each.

Then I run back up using SharePiont agent for my farm I have no problem at all.

But I would like it run from VM.

[Ben_L_ · Accepted solution]

For SharePoint GRT with VMware backups, it is only for all in one servers.  Multiple server farms aren't supported for SharePoint GRT. 

Anything that's a multi server or clustered Backup Exec can't do application GRT for at this time. i.e. Exchange 2007 CCR, Exchange 2010 DAG, SQL Clusters, Multi Server SharePoint Farms.

[lampar]

So, I my case I can do backup only by using ONLY SharePoint Agent

[Ben_L_]

If you want the GRT restore option for SharePoint, then yes.  You can still backup the VM with the VMware agent, you just want get application GRT for SharePoint.

it's making no cents for me....

why do we need GRT for sharepoint on VMware if we cannot use it??????????????

[lampar]

Sorry,

I did not mark your sollution from beginning, since it was not clear for me at that time
