Windows SharePoint Service 2 Restore

Asked By: Jessie Medina Date: Jan 29, 2010 Category: Sharepoint Views: 547

We are using Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 (6.0.2.5329)
from site setting and
from Add/Remove program Control Panel is 11.0.5329.6

We do backup frequency :

the command like following :

cd c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server
extensions\60\bin

stsadm.exe -o backup -url http://rnointranet/ -filename
c:\backup\backup.dat

and now we want to restore the data :
we do the following command :

stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://rnointranet/ -filename
c:\backup\backup.dat

and error :

The Web site address "http://rnointranet" is already in use.

I try stop the www service or stop the sharepoint service but did't
help!

So

What should I do to restore ?

You need to use the -overwrite option isf you are restoring a site with the same
one that already exists. This will replace the existing site with the backup
copy, there is no merge.

computer with that name is already running thats why
its not restoring, u need to make an exact duplicate
copy of that computer, and u need to close the
computer down and when it is closed for 20 minutes
then start working on the other server, copy ur backup
files ot that computer and run it over dere

I tried using the overwrite function and I still receive the same
error. I believe it is because my site is so large; it is 2 GB.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I don't know what to do.
