Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services is a free component of certain Windows Server operating systems. Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server is a web-based collaboration application that runs on Microsoft Windows and uses SharePoint Services. SharePoint Services uses a Microsoft SQL Server database for storing data and metadata. The version of SQL Server depends upon the installation and whether SharePoint Portal Server is installed. Windows SharePoint Services uses a special version of MSDE, known as SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (Windows) or WMSDE. If SharePoint Portal Server is installed, SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) or SQL Server 2000 is used instead.
Yosemite Server Backup will automatically discover all SharePoint Services databases and manage them for backup and recovery as separate objects. Backing up an entire system will also include those databases.
If you are using Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, you need to use the Yosemite Server Backup Agent for Microsoft SQL Server to protect the SQL Server database.
