Case Study: City of Prince George achieves automated SharePoint replication and iron-clad protection with AvePoint DocAve

City Of Prince George Deploys DocAve® To Protect And Replicate Its Microsoft® SharePoint® Content

The City of Prince George, BC, deployed Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 across two farms to manage its intranet and public website but ran into problems with SharePoint’s native Content Deployment Wizard, which frequently failed and sometimes stripped critical metadata. The city also needed a more robust backup and recovery strategy that would protect customizations, farm components, and platform settings while enabling selective replication between authoring and internet environments.

The city implemented DocAve Replicator for SharePoint and DocAve Backup and Restore for SharePoint (full deployment in August 2009), using DocAve Replicator for automated, selective synchronization (twice-daily for all sites and hourly for high‑profile items) and DocAve Backup and Restore for nightly full backups and platform-level recovery. With AvePoint’s responsive support, the solution eliminated production interruptions from native deployments, ensured comprehensive protection of customizations and farm components, and streamlined reliable content delivery and recovery.
