Backing Up SharePoint Server 2007

[bruNo_]

Hi, i'm trying to backup the full my SharePoint Server using the stsadm tool on a bat file and it returns me an error.

Here's the bat file.

  Quote

@echo off

echo ===============================================================

echo Back up sites for the farm to D:\BackupProject

echo ===============================================================

cd \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN

@echo off

stsadm.exe -o backup -directory "D:\BackupProject" -backupmethod full -overwrite

echo completed

And here's the error on the log.

First thing I would do since the error is being spit out about CLSID {629DA12E-9AD5-4FEC-B886-42C5982C5109} is search the registry for that value to determine which component that is registered to that.

I just did that on my Sharepoint server here and it comes up as the Windows Sharepoint Services Search Gathering Manager. It's throwing out a numerical error code as well: 80070005. A quick search leads to people mentioning that the launch permissions in DCOM need to be changed so load up Component Services and expand component services and your computer then DCOM config.

Find SPSearch in the list and go to properties.

Under the security tab use custom Launch and Activation Permissions and add the user that your Sharepoint is running under and give it local launch and local activation permissions.

I had a similar error that was fixed by this. Let me know if it works.

stsadm.exe -o backup -url URLOFSHAREPOINT -filename C:\SHAREPOINTBACKUPFILE -overwrite

This works for my backup. I think you are missing the '-filename' part?

Excellent, now make sure you can restore the backups! I had a sharepoint test server here that I was doing backups on then when I tried to restore them it would just come up with errors.
