Hi, I search internet for how I can backup in sharepoint server 2007. In result I found vary methods to backup and recovery each item I want in in sharepoint server 2007, for example for “my site” I have 3 choice: 1- Backup from my site ssp 2- Backup from my site content database 3- Backup from my site collection My question is which of them can offer me complete backup? If I backup only my site content database and don’t backup my site ssp,what things I’m lost? Or for example if I want to backup from ssp databases,I have 3 choice: 1- Built-in sharepoint server 2007 tools 2- SQL Server tools 3- API tools such as VSS Also I have above question for this case, for example if I backup from ssp databases with Built-in sharepoint server 2007 tools,what things I’m lost? each of them give me complete backup or I have to use all of them together? and another question is: how I can backup customization in sharepoint server 2007 such as:workflow,webpart,master page, page layout , … with which tools? I'm very appriciated if anyone help me. thanx.

There are so many things to consider, I'd suggest you get this book: http://www.amazon.com/SharePoint-2010-Disaster-Recovery-Guide/dp/1435456459 SharePoint Solution Architect, Developer

Right answer but wrong book. This is a pre-2010 forum so suggesting a 2010 book is off-topic (and besides which the OP clearly states that he is asking about SP 2007) The book he wants is the 2007 equivalent - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1584505990/heme0f SP 2010 "FAQ" (mainly useful links): http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx WSS3/MOSS FAQ (FAQ and Links) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx Both also have links to extensive book lists and to (free) on-line chapters
