This article enables you to restore specific project items. This procedure does not restore the physical files of a database (.mdb), but restores backups of specific items in the database. These items are backed up from the Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 Published database to the Office Project Server 2007 Archive database.

Before you perform this procedure, confirm that:

  • You have read the article Restore a Project Server 2007 farm by using built-in tools.

  • Your system is running Office Project Server 2007.

  • Project items have been backed up.
