Wow One more amazing feature.
Now you can Recover data from an unattached content database . you dont have to add the content database to a web application
As a Sharepoint administrator there might be a need to restore only some but not all content within a content database. How would you do that in SharePoint 2010 .
In earlier versions of SharePoint, to restore or recover content from a backup file, we had to restore the backed up file to a database server and had to attach that restored database to a another SharePoint farm. Then we needed to export the required content from this new temporary farm and then migrate it to the original farm where we wanted to recover it. This whole process required a huge time investment and rigorous planning.
To recover content from an unattached content database by using Central Administration
* Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group and is a member of the db_owner fixed database role.
* In Central Administration, on the Home page, click Backup and Restore.
* On the Backup and Restore page, in the Granular Backup section, click Recover data from an unattached content database.
* On the Unattached Content Database Data Recovery page, type the database server name in the
Database Server text box and type the database name in the Database Name text box.
* Select the database authentication method that you want to use.
* Select the Browse content option, and then click Next.
* Click Start Restore.
* On the Browse content page, select the site collection, site, and or list that you want to restore, select the
Backup site collection or Export site or list option, and then click Next.
Complete the process to restore the content.
