This guide will familiarize you with the capabilities of DocRetriever and provide the step by step guide to

Preparation for recovering data with DocRetriever

1. In the main Replay 4 Administration Console, go to the Recovery Point you would like to recover
   data from, expand it to show the volumes that contain the SharePoint databases. Right click the
   volume(s) and from the menu, select “Mount…”.



2. In the Mount on Local Machine dialog box, Choose “Mount to a folder” and type in a path you
   would like to use for the mounting of the volume(s). For ease of use, AppAssure recommends
   choosing a path like: C:\RP\SPS. Choose “Mount Writable” in the Writeability section.

NOTE: it is important to make sure you reuse the same path for each subsequent mounting and restore. This will allow you to browse the
data quicker in DocRetriever by using the MRU (Most Recently Used) list to shortcut the process of opening subsequent images.



3. Click File | Open. Chose “Farm” from the Open dropdown. Use the Dropdown for Configuration
   Database and browse for the SharePoint Config database in the path you specified above in step
   2. This will also add the path to the Content Database directories section below.



4. Click the Add ( + ) button under “Content Database directories” and browse to the path where
   your SQL log files are stored, select the folder, and hit OK. The “Content Database directories”
   section should have all paths to your content and logs.



5. Click OK. The User Interface will read the configuration and present you with a list of sites on the
   farm.
