Back up search (Search Server 2010)

 

Tópico modificado em: 2016-12-01

We recommend that you regularly back up at the farm level. However, business or IT requirements might require you to back up the Search service applications and related resources.

Regularly backing up the search system reduces the possibility of data losses that might occur from hardware failures, power outages, or other problems. It is a simple process that helps guarantee that data and configurations that compose the search system are available for recovery, if that is required.

Backing up search does not affect the state of the farm. However, it does require resources. Therefore, backing up search might affect farm performance while the backup is running. You can avoid performance issues by backing up search during hours when farm use is lowest.

Importante

Use the procedures in this article to back up the search components of Microsoft Search Server 2010. If the topology includes Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint, the procedures in this article also back up the Content Search Service Application (SSA) and Query SSA (including the People Search index). However, in addition to the procedures in this article, you must run a backup of the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint farm. For more information, see Backup e recuperação (FAST Search Server 2010 para SharePoint) (traduzido por máquina).

In this article:

  • Use Windows PowerShell to back up search

  • Use Central Administration to back up search

  • Use SQL Server tools to back up search

Task requirements

Before you begin, you must create a local folder or a network folder in which to store the backups. For better performance, we recommend that you back up to a local folder and then move the backup files to a network folder. For more information about how to create a backup folder, see Preparar-se para o backup e a recuperação (SharePoint Server 2010).

The credentials for the default content access accounts and crawl rules are encrypted and cannot be decrypted automatically when restoring on a different farm. However, you can re-encrypt credentials for the default content access accounts and crawl rules before you back up the Search service application. Then you can decrypt the credentials after you restore the Search service application.

Before you back up the Search service application, at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:

$ssa = Get-SpenterpriseSearchServiceApplication <SearchServiceApplicationName>
$ssa.SetCrawlAccountMasterKey <Password>

Where:

  • <SearchServiceApplicationName> is the name of the Search service application that you are backing up.

  • <Password> is a strong password that will be used to re-encrypt, and then decrypt, the credentials for the default content access accounts and crawl rules.

You must perform the previous step if you plan to restore or migrate the Search service application to another farm. Even if you are plan to restore the Search service application to the same farm, the previous step is a best practice.

You can use Windows PowerShell to back up search manually or as part of a script that runs at scheduled intervals. This procedure backs up all search components, the databases, the Search service configuration, and all index files.

To back up search by using Windows PowerShell

  1. Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements: Consulte Add-SPShellAdmin.

  2. On the Start menu, click All Programs.

  3. Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.

  4. Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.

  5. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:

    Backup-SPFarm -Directory <Backup folder> -BackupMethod {Full | Differential} -Item "Farm\Shared Services\Shared Services Applications\<SearchServiceApplicationName>" [-Verbose]
    

    Observação

    If you are backing up the farm for the first time, you must use the Full option. You must perform a full backup before you can perform a differential backup. To view the progress of the backup operation, use the Verbose parameter.

    Use the full path of the Search service application.

  6. You must also back up the service application proxy. To do this, at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:

    Backup-SPFarm -Directory <Backup folder> -BackupMethod {Full | Differential} -Item "Farm\Shared Services\Shared Services Proxies\<SearchServiceApplicationProxyName>" [-Verbose]
    

    Where:

    • <Backup folder> is the path of the backup folder.

    • <SearchServiceApplicationProxyName> is the name of the Search service application proxy.

    Observação

    If you are backing up the farm for the first time, you must use the Full option. You must perform a full backup before you can perform a differential backup. To display the progress of the backup operation, use the Verbose parameter.

    Use the full path of the Search service application proxy.

For more information, see Backup-SPFarm.

Observação

Recomendamos que você use o Windows PowerShell ao executar tarefas administrativas de linha de comando. A ferramenta de linha de comando Stsadm está obsoleta, mas está incluída para oferecer suporte à compatibilidade com versões anteriores do produto.

You can use Central Administration to back up search. This procedure backs up all search components, the databases, the Search service configuration, and all index files.
