Restoring a deleted SharePoint list

To restore a list that you deleted, you need to restore the list and default.aspx in separate restore jobs.

To restore a deleted list

  1. Log on as Administrator.
  2. Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
  3. Choose File > Select Files and Folders to Restore > from Normal Backup.
  4. Select the MS-SharePoint policy type.

  5. Click OK.

    NetBackup browses for SharePoint Server backup images.

  6. From the NetBackup History pane, select the image(s) that contain the objects you want to restore:

    • The last full backup, or

    • The last full backup and all subsequent differential backups

  7. In the All Folders pane, expand Microsoft SharePoint Resources.

    Note:

    When you select items to restore, do not check the checkbox for an item in the All folders pane. Only check the checkbox for an item in the Contents of pane.

  8. From the Contents of pane, select the list item you deleted or the library container for the list.

    The following image shows a SharePoint 2010 restore.

  9. Click Start Restore.

    When the restore completes, continue with the next step.

  10. In the All Folders pane, expand Microsoft SharePoint Resources.
  11. From the Contents of pane, in the subsite or the site collection, select default.aspx.

    The following image shows a SharePoint 2010 restore.
