Backup SharePoint (2010) documents only

  • 772

I was wondering if it is possible to backup the files itself from SharePoint 2010 from all hosted sites? I can backup my entire virtual machine and the database, but i'm only interested in the content itself so that I can access the files itself in case of a failure and not needing to first restore a server/sql server + SharePoint site.

is there such a function in SharePoint itself (or maybe a PowerShell script) that allows this?

    You should be able to export an entire document library with Export-SPWeb:

    $Site = "https://sp.company.net/IntranetSite"
$Library = "https://sp.company.net/IntranetSite/Stuff/ImportantNotes/AllItems.aspx"
$Location = "C:\sharepointbackup\NoteDocuments"
Export-SPWeb -Identity $Site -Path $Location -ItemUrl $Library -NoFileCompression
