• If a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 or 2013 database is backed up using the SQL Server Plug-in, you can restore items such as site collections, websites, lists and documents from the backup.
• If a Microsoft SQL Server database is backed up using the SQL Server Plug-in or Image Plug-in, you can restore specific tables and objects from the backup.
• To restore items from a database backup, you must first use Portal to expose the safeset as a shared resource. You can then use a Granular Restore application to find and restore items from the backup. To restore items from a SharePoint database backup, use Granular Restore for Microsoft SharePoint. To restore items from a SQL Server database backup, use Granular Restore for Microsoft Exchange and SQL. For more information, or to obtain a Granular Restore application, contact your service provider.
