The leading provider of SharePoint management and data-protection solutions, AvePoint, announced today the release of a fully integrated software module providing item through platform-level backup and restoration capabilities, called DocAve Backup and Recovery. This innovation represents the industry's first ever full-fidelity granular data protection software capable of farm-level SharePoint disaster recovery.

Empowering Administrators of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS), the new SharePoint Backup and Recovery module combines the powerful capacities of AvePoint's Granular Backup and Restore and Platform Recovery technologies, to protect both the content and the infrastructure of their SharePoint deployment with a single solution.

AvePoint's Chief Operating Officer, Tianyi Jiang, said: "We are very excited to offer the industry's first fully-integrated solution that protects all SharePoint 2007 data and infrastructure". "This product release aligns with AvePoint's continuing commitment to provide the world's most innovative and robust SharePoint solutions on the market."    

From farm-level components down to individual content items, DocAve Backup and Recovery protects all components in a SharePoint environment. Following a disaster, a speedy and complete recovery is top priority. DocAve's Backup and Recovery module dramatically reduces the manual steps needed to restore SharePoint components or farms by providing full-spectrum recovery of content databases, search and index servers, and front-end server/file systems. Dynamic "point-in-time" recoveries are easy and fast, with automated SQL log backups fully integrated into the backup process. DocAve's Backup and Recovery ensures even the most stringent SLA requirements are satisfied by delivering minimal downtime and data loss regardless of farm configuration complexity or component architecture.

Including sites, lists, sub-sites, document libraries and individual items, Backup and Recovery safeguards all content stored in a SharePoint repository. With DocAve Backup and Recovery, nothing is left behind and no resources are wasted. Restoration is equally flexible and robust, with on-demand granular restores applied directly to a live production environment while all metadata, securities, and version histories are maintained. With DocAve Backup and Recovery, business and resource disruptions are a thing of the past.
