I have spps 2003 site created. I used the backup utility (by using Start
-> All Programs -> Share Point Portal Server -> SharePoint Portal Server
Data Backup and Restore)
Under the backup tab, I specified backup location and name i.e.
C:\backup\myspbackup (with overwrite)
Under Avalialbe components I selected All server farm components. And
selected both Backup items listed i.e. Type SITEDBS and Type INDEX.
However I accidently deleted some events from my site and thought by
backup will help me restore what was lost (by applying a blank overwrite
I should be able to be at the stage at which I was when I took the
backup).
In order to restore, I launched Share Point Portal Server Data Backup
and Restore and selected the Restore tab. Specified the Manifest file
i.e. c:\backup\myspbackup.xml, and when I selected All server farm
components under Available components, it shows under "Restore Item"
Cannot be selected for Type SITEDBS, while Ready for Type INDEX. The
status against SITEDBS is "A portal site using this site database
already exists.
How do I restore ???
