Case Study: Sartorius achieves granular, full-fidelity SharePoint protection and instant item-level restores with AvePoint DocAve Backup and Restore

Sartorius Comprehensively Protects And Restores Microsoft SharePoint Content With DocAve

Sartorius, a Göttingen-based pharmaceutical and laboratory technology company, needed a more reliable, granular way to protect its SharePoint environment after discovering native STSADM backups were slow, database‑level only, and failed to restore item metadata or permit quick item‑level recovery without a standby farm. The IT team sought an intuitive solution to schedule backups by business criticality and restore individual lists, libraries, sites, and documents with full fidelity.

Sartorius implemented AvePoint DocAve Backup and Restore, using flexible full and incremental schedules, item‑to‑web‑application protection, and a graphical Time Restore Controller to recover content directly into production while preserving metadata, permissions, and version history. The result: faster, item‑level restores without a warm standby farm, simpler testing of customizations, improved backup management, and reliable vendor support—leading Sartorius to deploy DocAve on its new SharePoint 2010 farm as well.
