DocRetriever: SharePoint 2007, 2010 Backup & Restore Software
![]() |
DocRetriever for SharePoint dramatically simplifies the process of backup & restoring individual SharePoint documents, sites, sub-sites and folders. SharePoint Administrators no longer need to spend countless hours rebuilding your entire production database, or worry about deploying a temporary SharePoint recovery farm, just to recover an individual document or list item. |
Backup & Restore SharePoint 2007, 2010 documents and list items from your native SharePoint backups in minutes, without requiring a SharePoint recovery farm.
DocRetriever connects directly to native SQL Server backup files, as well as any mountable application aware snapshot, and enables you to browse SharePoint objects as though you were connected to a live SharePoint site. SharePoint objects such as sites, site hierarchies, list items, libraries and views can be recovered directly to the production SharePoint servers, to alternate SharePoint servers or directly to a file system, with complete preservation of all permissions and meta-data.
When used in conjunction with Dell AppAssure’s Enterprise Image backup, replication & recovery software, you can rest assured that you are never more than minutes away from being able to recover any component of your SharePoint Environment, from Bare Metal, to an individual item.

"If our VMware servers go down, I can bring them back in no time with Dell AppAssure. With Dell AppAssure I'm creating a virtual machine image every night and I don't have to worry about anything."
Smith Brothers Furniture

"We tested several different backup solutions to find out which provided us with the best speed, the easiest recovery, and the best utilization of backup resources and Dell AppAssure nailed all three. I've been doing tech for over 20 years and in that time, I can count a handful of software about which I can honestly say their marketing is understated. The way Dell AppAssure performs exceeds the promises made in ad copy. This is one of the easiest products I've used. Seriously—it's that good."
EFG Company

"Once we embarked on the virtualization path, our previous backup software was not up to the task. But with Dell AppAssure our data is safe and is continually backed up. We know that if we needed to restore a single file, email, or even a server, we can do it quickly and without any hassle."
Maritime Paper

"Our IT environment is constantly changing, and only Dell AppAssure has been able to keep up with it. Dell AppAssure's speed and ease of use are great, and the continuous backup makes recovery go really smoothly. We estimate that we can keep three years of continuous backups just due to Dell AppAssure's deduplication and compression technology. That's amazing!"
The Sedona Group

"Dell AppAssure is the best backup and recovery product I've ever used. Nothing is even close. We've used a lot of products, but nothing touches this!"
American HealthTech

"Dell AppAssure is exceptional. We would not have gotten this level of service with Symantec or anyone else."
Imler’s Poultry

“Previously our backup storage would be full after two weeks of nightly backups. Now we can fit ninety-six 15-minute snapshots, 48 hourly snapshots, 7 daily snapshots, 4 weekly snapshots, and one monthly snapshot for EVERY server, and we are using only 33% of our disk space!”
Sioux County

“We got Dell AppAssure to perform backups. But with combined replication it has quickly become the key in our disaster recovery plan.”
Brock White

“It used to take me 58 hours or more to do a full backup during the weekend. With Dell AppAssure backup, I don’t have to do full backups anymore.”
Information Management Systems

“Dell AppAssure backup requires a fraction of the care and feeding of other products. If the auditors walked in tomorrow, I am confident that we can immediately demonstrate that we can recover in our mandated time.”
Southern Bancshare

“Dell AppAssure has awesome deduplication and compression that saves so much room on our backup disk array — 60%-80% increase in free space. It was a huge surprise! We’re protecting 12 servers, but only consuming 121 GB of space.”
