The procedure to recover a SharePoint database is similar to how to recover a SQL Server database by using System Center 2012 – Data Protection Manager (DPM). For more information about how to recover a SQL Server database, see Recovering SQL Server Data.

Note

After a SharePoint database is recovered, it cannot be left in a recovering state.

Note

To recover a mirrored database to its original instance of SQL Server, select the Recover to any SQL Instance option, and then, on the Specify Alternate Recovery Location page, specify the recovery destination path of the original instance of SQL Server.
