SharePoint Restore

 

 

this only affects SharePoint integrated mode. With SSRS native mode nothing is required to change.

 

 

On backup Subscription Manager saves the site name as a folder. Due to limitation of the file system certain characters cannot be used in the folder name / and : so the site name folder is to be translated.

 

 : is replaced with @

 / is replaced with #

 

eg:

 

site name:        http://sitename/sites

folder name:        http@##sitename#sites

 

 

If you backup and restore on the same SharePoint server the URL will be the same.

 

If you restore to a different SharePoint server, the URL will be different. In this case you will need to rename the SharePoint site folder.

 

 

Example

 

 

 Root backup folder is c:\ssrs

 old SharePoint site name is http://oldServer:8080

 

 the restore will be to the new SharePoint server- site name http://newserver

 

 

 

1. On backup the Excel files for report subscriptions will be created under the folder:

 

 c:\ssrs\http@##oldServer@8080

 

 

2. Next rename the SharePoint site name folder to the new server SharePoint site name

 

 

 rename folder http@##oldServer@8080 to http@##newserver

 

 

 c:\ssrs\http@##newserver

 

3. Continue the Restore process
