The Backup/Restore Solution Of SharePoint

Microsoft sharepoint portal is a portal site for enterprise solutions, which enable companies to deploy an intelligent portal websites, link to the user, teamand information seamlessly. Through the portal, employees can make better use of information related to the operation processes and work more efficiently, it can also create a complete view of the operation, access the latest information, share information within the company; identify and create the majority of the company's information wealth; search, integration and the SharePoint sites, realize automatization of the operation process. However, as the widely application of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server, the security of data stored by the SharePoint is more and more important. DocAve4.0 is set up in this environment.DocAve 4.0 Backup/restore is a multi-level backup engine in enterprise level, which can back up content on your production SharePoint servers seamlessly while still allowing that content to be searched, viewed and accessed from within your SharePoint environment.The system consists of server and agent, the server mainly uses Java Server, Hibernate, AJAX, End JavaScript, Struts and other technologies. The agent mainly uses .NET, Socket Communications, XML. the platform for the development mainly uses Tomcat, Eclipse, Microsoft Visual Studio, CVS and InstallShield etc. development tools. This paper focuses on the design and implementation of agent side. From the start of system operation analysis to the actual operational environment of Microsoft SharePoint itself, DocAve4.0 can be divided into several functional modules according to it's actual task as follows, which are the following stages of development:1. The subsystems of data backup: item level backup, site level backup and sub-site level backup.2. The subsystems of data restore: item level restore, site level restore and sub-site level restore.3. The subsystems of control panel: e-mail notification management, log management, account management and License Management.DocAve4.0 backup/restore system provide item backup and restore program for Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint services, which can fully meet the diverse needs of customers while ensuring data security. The system's main part is backup and restore, which also include item level backup and restore, sib-site level backup and restore, site level backup and restore, each level includes full backup and incremental backup, the regular backup and intelligent filtering backup, out of restore job-reduction etc. module, finally realize the efficient, simple and stable Backup / restore program of Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services.This system adopts software engineering idea of object-orientation, raise the process of requirement, analysis, system design, object design, realization according to require, use the modeling mode of UML. The main reason is: the program analysis and design of object-orientation excels that of traditional structure, its advantage is that, it is expected to solve two main problems of software engineering----the control to software complexity and the raise in software production. Besides, it also accord with the human thinking custom, and can naturally represent entity problem in the realism world, it has significant meaning for software development process. UML is a kind of modeling language with good definition, easy to express, strong function and general application. It has blended the new thought, new method and new technology in the field of software engineering. In fact, UML has become an industry standard and gained ground. Whether in field of computer, software industry and business, UML has become a unified tool used to model a variety of systems, describe system structure, business structure and business process.This paper have traversed the following aspects: business structure research of sharepoint's backup and restore, based on collecting a great deal of information, discussed the system structure, function module and keytechnology for the system, demonstrated the advantage and feasibility of DocAve management from different aspects; requirement survey, survey the data management problem that existed in several debt departments of some provinces , enablethe establishment of DocAve to combine the fact and solve fact problem; the design of DocAve backup/restore system according to the method of object-orientation, adopted UML modeling mode,scientifically put forward system structure of the system management, subsystem design pattern and conception species chart, settled a foundation for detailed system design and realization. And take an example of browsing data, back up data and restore data ,discussed use case chart, class chart and activity chart. Thissystem is developed by C#, take the class as unit, particularly introduced the realization of several classes methods in debt management system.DocAve system's come out will promote the use of the SharePoint departments to the front of secure backup data management, The system is simple, practical and friendly interface. Anyone understands the SharePoint can use it, which can reduce the complexity of backup, improve the efficiency of backup. The most crucial is that DocAve truly achieved the item level backup and restore. I believe that in the near future, the product will surely be the world's SharePoint backup/restore market champion.
