Importing content databases from the filesystem

Prerequisites

The content database must be restored to the filesystem.

The user account under which the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service is running must be granted full control permission for the content database.

Considerations

The Microsoft SQL Server Database Primary Data Files and all transaction log files cannot be imported from a network share.

If a site already exists in the Recovery Cache Management, and you perform an Import From Filesystem session for the same site, the new URL is:

http://computer.company.com:38000/OriginalNameSequenceNumber

http://computer.company.com:25884/SequenceNumber

(root site)

If the original site does not exist in the Recovery Cache Management, the site URL does not change.

If a root site does not exist, the Recovery Cache Management uses an empty string during the restore session, the URL of the root site changes to:

http://computer.company.com:25884/SequenceNumber

Procedure

1.On the Recovery Cache Management page, click Import From Filesystem.
