In office environments, accidental deletions and overwrites of files are common mishaps. It’s not unusual for IT administrators to receive daily requests to restore single files or documents. In addition, IT administrators are increasingly required to recover individual documents in order to comply with legal or regulatory requests.

This process typically requires involvement from multiple staff members. When end users need to restore a file, they contact the help desk or their SharePoint administrator who must then contact the backup administrator. Oftentimes, the backup administrator must restore the database into a standby SharePoint farm before searching for the individual file, or use third-party tools to locate the file. And sometimes a lengthy game of telephone tag must occur before the correct file version is found. This creates a heavy burden on IT staff.

HP Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension helps you overcome these challenges. It empowers your SharePoint administrators to manage the file-recovery process entirely through the SharePoint administrator user interface. They can now quickly complete end-user requests to restore single documents or folders – without the help of backup administrators.
