Content Recovery from Unattached Databases

Sharepoint 2010 is providing new feature to recover data from a sharepoint backup DB. without attaching the db to site.

Here you go for example I have a document deleted and it is not there in recycle bin as well so to recover that we have to get backup db attach to site and do some extra steps.

Now in sharepoint2010 they are providing an UI where we can attach a backupDB and can dig in to the sitecollections->sites->lists->items.

Here is the steps to do:

Central Admin->Backup and restore->specify the name in unattached content database data recovery-> DBname-> site->list->select export site or list ->specify location in harddrive.



So we can export that content or document to harddrive and can import in to the site.

this is a cool feature. :)
