•Ensure that site's URL path is no longer than 260 characters:
If you use the Rename if Exists recovery mode, the URL path has to be smaller than 255.
Considerations
•If the data to be recovered already exists at the destination, depending on the recovery mode, note the following:
•Rename if Exists: Files, folders, and items are recovered with different names, OriginalName_MOSSGR_Timestamp. For example, suppose that on November 17, 2009 at 10:59:35 you start a recovery of the file wizard.txt. The file is recovered with the name
Form templates, documents and tasks items are not recovered, and not renamed to the original location.
•Leave Existing: Files, folders, and items are not recovered.
•Overwrite Existing: Files, folders, and items are recovered with the original names, replacing the existing. For example, the existing Microsoft SharePoint Server items (Document Library) are overwritten with those from the backup data. Only lists and sites are not overwritten.
•If the data to be recovered does not exist at the destination, it is recovered with the original name.
•If the List items (Announcement, Contact, Link, Calendar, or Task) are recovered to other location, or to other farm twice, depending on the recovery mode:
•Overwrite Existing: the List items are duplicated with the same names and different IDs. Delete the items with the same names.
•Rename if Exists: the List items are renamed even though these kinds of items do not support renaming.
•If discussion items, with attachments and replies, or surveys with responses are recovered with the Overwrite Existing recovery mode, the items are overwritten but the attachments, replies, or responses are not recovered. To avoid data loss, delete the attachments, replies, or responses before starting your recovery session.
•Multiple recovery sessions can be performed in parallel, except if the same items are selected for recovery.
•Multiple farm administrators and site collection administrators can browse objects in parallel.
•To recover a document workflow status ensure you create a template and association at the destination site. Workflow status cannot be recovered to other farm.
