Restored SP2010 site "broken" in an odd way - home.aspx is not accessible, but default.aspx is.

So we are testing out a 3rd party backup and recovery tool. The testing for individual pages and list items went pretty well. However, we are seeing really odd behavior when attempting to recover the sites. Obviously we will be working with the vendor on
the issue from their side of things.
I just don't know if there is something that we might have configured oddly that might be contributing to the issue.
I created a from scratch test site using the team template on our SP 2010 service pack 2 farm.
We have an F5 load balancer handing traffic off two 2 web front end servers, with two application servers behind the scenes along with a sql server.
The product backed up the content, then I deleted the site so that we could test the restore ability.
There are a number of problems that we see right off the bat when trying to recover a site.
1. The Site Pages/Home.aspx appears to have a problem - attempting to access it creates an error page that the ULS describes as:

2. What we did find was a
http://myfarm/sites/IT/d27/col/SecondTestSite/default.aspx page that displayed what SitePages/Home.aspx used to be.
However, that page is not marked as the home page. I know I can mark that page as the home page to get around the problem - but why would the original page not load any longer? I tried going into the Site Pages library and the how to use the featurees page
still works okay - just not the home page.
I also am finding that the them of the site was lost, a workflow attached to a list was lost - I don't just mean one instance of the workflow; the list no longer has a workflow attached to it. Also the default view of a calendar part on the front page was
lost.
Is this common for SharePoint site recoveries - to lose various fundamental settings?
I am just wondering whether this sounds like something site specific or if it sounds like every other recovery out there.
Thank you

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you used a 3rd party backup and recovery tool.
I recommend to use Backup-SPSite and Restore-SPSite command to see if the issue still occurs.
If not, then the error should be regarding to the 3rd party tool, you need to get help from the experts who are professional at the 3rd party tool.
Best regards.
Thanks

  • Is there a way for me to "purchase" an app that is over 20mb but free when wifi and home itunes is not accessible?

    I wish to purchase an app that is free for a limited time but it is over 20mb.  There is no wifi here at work and I cannot purchase as a gift, as I normally do with discounted apps to lock in the low price, because it is free.  I cannot access my itunes to purchase as I am stuck at work.  I hate to miss a good deal because of these conditions so any suggestions on a way around this so i can lock in the free price would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    No there is no settings to do that.

  • Backup and Restore My Sites

    Hi,
    I was hoping for a bit of clarity regarding this topic.
    As I understand it, there are two sides of MySites, the Site Collections that are created through self-service site creation for users content, and then service application that provisions the site profiles.
    For site profiles, I believe that the Farm Backup and Restore procedure in Central Administration takes care of this, and a backup and restore can be done by selecting the service application in the long list of tick boxes available in the Farm Backup options.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    For the Site Collections, as far as I can tell, you can either back them up individually using the SharePoint native backup tool (not feasible for thousands of site collections), backup the content db using SQL backup, or Powershell. As far as I can tell,
    this has the limitation of only allowing you to backup and restore ALL sites collections at once, not individual site collections. Is this correct?
    If so, is there a way of backing up the site collections so that an individual site collection can be restored should it be required, without having to painstakingly backup all the site collections individually? I didn't know if there was a script for this
    or failing that a 3rd party tool.
    Any thoughts and input would be much appreciated.

    Re: SQL backups, yes. When you attach the content database it attaches all the site collections in the database.
    There is no out of the box method to restore individual site collections unless you perform individual site collection backups. You can automate this with PowerShell.
    Something like this would work:
    $mysites = Get-SPSite -Webapplication "My Sites"
    $Path = "\\path\to\place\backups\"
    foreach ($site in $mysite) {
    $filename = $($site.ServerRelativeUrl -replace "/", "_") + ".bak"
    Backup-SPSite -Identity $site -Path $($Path + $filename)
    This creates a site collection backup of every site collection in the My Sites Webapplication (you could customize this as necessary for your environment). Note that it replaces forward slashes ("/") in the site collection URL with underscores
    ("_") as you can't have the slashes in a filename.
    This is a quick and dirty script as well. You'd probably want to add outputs or set the site locks, or whatever.
    Alternatively, most third-party SharePoint backup solutions offer more granulated restore options -- with a single backup you can restore everything that an OOB backup would contain, plus you can get lower within the content -- so site collections, sites,
    lists, libraries, items, documents.

  • Mac Os x 10.2 used came without a browser or mail or restore disks. What's the easiest way to get IE or safari back on?

    It's a power Mac g4

    Contrary to the above post, IE for Mac does exist. As a matter of fact, it was the default browser for Mac OS 8, 9, and X up until Safari's release in 2003. It was discontinued not long after that. However, you can still download it here: http://mac.oldapps.com/internet_explorer.php?old_internet_explorer=9. As for downloading Safari, if you're running an earlier version of Jaguar (10.2), you should be able to install it by going into Software Update and downloading all the updates available (provided the Mac is connected to the internet, of course). As for getting Mail back, I don't see how it's gone; seeing as it's a pre-installed Apple program, I doubt someone would remove it, and I'm not even sure it can be removed. Try doing a search in Finder for it. Finally, as for no restore discs, there's really no other way around it unless you get a set of restore discs (which are probably difficult to find considering their age) or get someone to put the restore disc data on a USB drive.
    On a side note, I don't recommend using Safari or IE for internet browsing on 10.2. They're so outdated that most sites don't display properly on them. I recommend using the latest version of Opera for 10.2, which you can find here: http://mac.oldapps.com/opera.php?old_opera=15. I have personally tried this on an eMac running 10.2 and though slow (as it is also a very outdated browser version, over 5 years old), most sites seem to display properly (at least, for the most part). Or, as another alternative, I would recommend maxing out your Mac's memory and installing Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) and the TenFourFox browser (link: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/). Do that, and you'd have a rather usable internet browsing machine.

  • How-To: Migrate Classic Path-based SP2010 Site Collection with OOTB/SPD Workflows = To: Claims Different Path-based SP2013 Site Collection ?

    Hello,
    I want to move an entire site collection from an old SharePoint 2010 farm to a new SharePoint 2013 farm. But there are a few requirements:
    - The old SP2010 site collection contains multiple SPD Workflows and OOTB Workflows.
    - URLs must be changes as the example: 
    Source Site Collection URL: http://OldWebApp.SP2010.com/sites/OldSiteCollection 
    Destination Site Collection URL shall be: http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com/projects/NewSiteCollection
    - There are no custom solutions nor web parts.
    How to accomplis this successfully ?
    My steps would be:
    1) Copying the content database from SP2010 SQL to the SP2013 SQL via: Copy-only backup feature, or the traditional Backup & Restore.
    2) I have already the Web Application on the new SP2013 ready, So, I will just need to create the destination site collection in the SP2013 environment with the new desired URL: (http:\\NewWebApp.SP2013.com\projects\NewSiteCollection).
    3) Remove the newly created Content Database of the new site collection in the destination environment.
    4) Test-SPContentDatabase -name Old_Content_DB -webapplication http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com > C:\Issues.txt
    My worry is that the SP2010 Web Application is Classic-based and I cannot change the entire Web Application to Claims-based as it hosts other running site collections !
    Equally, My other worry is that the SP2013 Web Application is Claims-based and I cannot change the entire Web Application to Classic-based as it hosts other running site collections !
    First-Question=> I cannot run Convert-SPWebApplication as I don't want to impact the entire source nor destination web applications - How to resolve this?
    5) Mount-SPContentDatabase "Old_Content_DB" -DatabaseServer "DBServer" -WebApplication http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com
    Second-Question=> As I mentioned above that my requirement is to migrate this old SP2010 site collaction to a totally new URL in SP 2013. My concern is that after completing step-5, the site
    collection will overwrite the root new web application and it gets placed on: (http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com) !  I want it to be: (http://NewWebApp.SP2013.com/projects/NewSiteCollection) ? How to do this trick?
    Third-Question=> Will all the SPD Workflows & the OOTB Workflows work correctly after the entire site collection has been moved from SP2010 to SP2013? I am asking this because I seen this:
    (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chandru/archive/2013/04/14/upgrading-spd-2010-workflows-to-spd-2013-workflows.aspx), and I got scared. What do you think ?
    Could you please help me out in my three questions ?

    Following are the steps:
    Take the backup of the content database in SP 2010.
    Create a classic based web application in SP 2013 using PowerShell.
    New-SPWebApplication -Name "TestApplication" -ApplicationPool "TestApplicationAppPool" -AuthenticationMethod "NTLM" -ApplicationPoolAc
    Create a content database in the web application created above.
    Mount the database 
    Mount-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content_100 -DatabaseServer SQL2012Demo -WebApplication http://sp2013demo:100
    Now convert the web application to use claims authentication:
    Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity "http://sp2013demo:100" -To Claims –RetainPermissions -Force
    Finally, migrate the users to use claims identity:
    $w = Get-SPWebApplication "http://sp2013demo:100"
    $w.MigrateUsers($True)

  • I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    Try this:
    Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
    If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
    If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.

  • How to restore a site deleted from SharePoint Designer 2010

    Hi All,
         I have opened a test server site in share point designer 2010, & deleted that particular site in SP designer 2010,can anyone let me know how to restore the site by using SharePoint Designer?
    I followed below mentioned procedure to restore the site using SharePoint Designer
    Open SharePoint Designer, File tab, Sites under File Tab, Open site, specified the URL of site,opened..
    It is getting connected to the Organisation network & showing "path does not exist,check the path and try again".
    Whether, Is it possible to restore the site deleted from share point designer in site collection recycle bin. or
    Is it possible to copy the site from Production server to test server.
    Waiting for an response at the earlier.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Badri

    Hi Badri,
    1.You could not restore site deleted from SharePoint designer in site collection, you can only restore the site deleted from
    UI in site collection recycle bin, deleted from end user recycle bin.
    2.You can export the site from production server, then import it to test server.

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

  • Managed Metadata appearing in wrong columns after Restoring a site to a new Site Collection

    I've restored a site with some libraries that have Managed Metadata (MM) columns from one site collection into another site collection inside the same web app so it should all subscribe to the same Managed Metadata
    Service Application.
    There are two MM columns in one library, one holds a single value which is what type of document it is, the other is a general tag field that allows the user to add multiple MM values to it if they want.
    What we've found  is that data has randomly disappeared on some MM fields, on others it appears in the wrong column, and in other cases it appears fine.
    I used native out of the box GUI backup and restored with the command line,
    I've done it twice with the same result, so it’s not a one off corruption during backup. It's the same story in a different doc library based on different term sets as well. 
    Of all the things to not work properly, MM was probably last on my list to expect, it's knocked my confidence in it a bit, as well as worried me about future upgrades.
    If anyone has any ideas over what may be the cause of this, it would be appreciated, I've read lots of blogs, but nothing quite like this has cropped up.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Most of the ISV offerings will allow you to 'Migrate' content from one SP location to another. I'm pretty sure AvePoint and a few others have tools specifically developed for shifting bits and pieces around SharePoint farms.
    It is a limitation but the ISV tools tend to do a good job and maintain nearly full consistency.
    There's scripts around that can do much/most of the migration and you could always extend them to do the same things as the ISV migration tools however the cost to do so can quickly get to the same ballpark as buying an already made tool.
    Paul is also in the London office, we often work together when projects requiring his brains and my beauty crop up.

  • If I restore iPhone, there won't be any way to get photos back?

    I was trying to update my phone to the 6 update, but then it said there was an error. Now my phone won't let me get inside of it at all.
    It's making me restore the whole phone (I haven't clicked the "yes, restore phone" button yet because I'm trying to figure this out first), but I want to at least save all of the pictures I've taken with my phone before I fully restore it.
    When I restore it, will my photos still be there? or is there any way that I can save all of my photos before the restore?

    You've never backup your phone or imported your pics to your computer.  IF your answer is NO, you'll lose everything regardless cause you have to restore your phone.

  • Restore a site from files

    Hi Guys, i know im a idiot but i formatted my pc recently, now what i forgot to do was to export the site im working on as a .ste file,
    although i still have all the files and folders and i can point to the root folder if i must define a new site on my new dreamweaver,
    but im not sure how to get the server behaviours and database connections back (i have a user registration on the site). is there any other way than doing it all over again?

    Could it be that my hosts doesnt support this?
    If you are trying to access the remote MySQL server, yes.  Some hosts will only allow access from the IP address corresponding to the hosted site.  You would be trying to access it from a different IP address and it would fail.  In theory, if you are not using any database access, then you should be able to use the remote site also as a testing server with the added overhead of keeping the FTP connection open and uploading files during the testing.  I would rather test locally than do that.
