Backup all instance of a list.
hi, I made a feature that instantiate a library, when it's applied over all the subsite I could have a lot of instances. So, is there a way to back-up all of these instances at once? thank you!

Stelvio Please a bit more detailed information on your feature as well as what you'd like to backup and why.Kanwal SharePoint Buzz

Kanwal, The feature is a document library with some function within. I have a structure in my webapp like this: site collection sub-site1 doc-lib instance sub-site2 doc-lib instance ..... sub-siten doc-lib instance what I need is to back-up all the "doc-lib instance" from all the site in one shot. Obviously, I could gain this with some powershell script, but, is this the only way?

Assuming you have alot of document libraries that backing up a document library one by one is tedious I'd propose either using stsadm or powershell: STSADM Backup - backup the whole site collection. quick and easy. Example: stsadm -o backup -url http://servername/sitecollection1/ -filename c:\servername.sitecollection1.bak PowerShell Script to backup SharePoint Site Collection Backup Documents in SharePoint Using PowerShell script by all around nice guy Eric Kraus wrote this simple little script which runs through web applications and copies the documents down to the filesystem in a similar hierarchical structure Codeplex project Full SharePoint backup with Powershell script All of these scripts can be setup as scheduled tasks. Good luck!Kanwal SharePoint Buzz

If using SharePoint 2010 you can also use the granular backup feature of SP 2010. RussMax has written a great article on the same http://blogs.msdn.com/russmax/archive/2009/10/21/sharepoint-2010-granular-backup-restore-part-1.aspx With granular backup you can now even backup lists & libraries. -Mukesh
