Going through the native Sharepoint backup, I've found some limitations I'd like to shed some light on. The backup:
- does not Provide Scheduling Functionality. You must use the command line with Windows Task Scheduler for scheduled backups
- does not Backup any Configurations/Customizations to any files in the “12 Hive” or Web.config files. You must manually back up front end files.
- does not Backup IIS Settings/Configurations
- does not Backup Alternate Access Mappings (AAM)
- dannot Backup Directly to Tape (only to UNC)
- high restore time means low availability
If using the SQL Only Backup/restore strategy, you'll have the following issues to consider:
- it does not backup any WFE configurations or solutions
- it requires Admin to manually reattach content databases to the web applications after a recovery
- you'll need to manually backup/restore all customizations on WFE Servers (.Net Assemblies, Features, IIS Metabase, etc. – batch file can help automate this process)
- no need to backup Search database (as it can’t be synchronized with Search Index)
- backup/restore of SSP separately via SharePoint native backup/restore
