Alternative workflow

We recommend using this extraction method if any of the following is true:

In either case, you need to first mount the necessary database and then use Acronis SharePoint Explorer.

To extract SharePoint data from a single-pass backup

  1. Connect Acronis Backup Management Console to a machine where Agent for SQL is installed.
  2. On the Actions menu, click Mount SQL databases from image.
  3. Click Select data, and then select the backup and the database you need to mount.
  4. Acronis Backup tries to specify the target instance for the selected database by taking the original path from the backup. If the original instance is not found or if you want to mount the database to another instance, specify the target instance manually.

    If your current account does not have enough privileges to access the target SQL Server instance, you will be asked to provide the credentials.

  5. Click OK. The software mounts the database to the instance.

    Details. A mounted database has the following name: <original database name>-Mounted. If a database with this name already exists, the mounted database is named as follows: <original database name>-Mounted (<sequence number>).

  6. Run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance where the database is mounted.
  7. Set the database to the read/write state:
    1. Right-click the database and then click Properties. This will open the Database Properties dialog box.
    2. In the Select a page pane, click Options.
    3. Set the Database Read-Only option to False.
