Operations and maintenance

Office Project Server 2007 is a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 application. Therefore, the recommendations for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 database maintenance apply to Office Project Server 2007 also. Among things, the database maintenance will include the following:

  • Checking database integrity

  • Defragmenting indexes by either reorganizing them or rebuilding them

  • Updating the table Statistics

Backup & recovery and disaster recovery processes

The backup and restore procedures for the whole farm (existing or new configuration) are more complex for an EPM-focused Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 farm. For an EPM-focused Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 extranet farm, we have to think about backup & recovery procedures for many more components and content databases.

Office Project Server 2007 related data may probably require a different frequency of backup & recovery and data refresh compared to the rest of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 extranet applications sharing the same farm resources.

Make sure that your Backup & Restore and Disaster Recovery Processes cover all components and content databases for the whole EPM-focused Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 extranet farm.
