ConfigMgr SCCM Backup Restore Guides Endpoint Manager. For the last few days, I have been planning to put together all my posts related to backup and recovery into a single post.
So that it would be easily accessible, this contains ConfigMgr / SCCM 2012 and 2007 posts. I hope this will be useful. Now, we can restore ConfigMgr/ SCCM 2012 site servers, CAS -Primary (excluding secondary servers) from native SQL backup—more details from Steve Thompson (MVP) here.
In this post you will get all the details of the ConfigMgr SCCM Backup Restore Guides Endpoint Manager. More details are explained below.
In the below section we explained the list including the ConfigMgr / SCCM 2007 Recovery Restore Site Repair Wizard Step-by-Step Guide, How to recover SCCM / ConfigMgr 2012 primary Server from a good backup? etc.

1. ConfigMgr / SCCM 2007 Recovery Restore Site Repair Wizard Step-by-Step Guide.
I’ve been asked to create a site recovery wizard step-by-step guide with screenshots (for a child primary server restoration). It’s pretty straightforward if you’ve good backups in place (except for one or two hiccups explained in the post).
2. How to recover SCCM / ConfigMgr 2012 primary Server from a good backup?
Remember, we had to run the Site Repair Wizard (after completing the installation wizard) in ConfigMgr 2007, but this has been changed for good in ConfigMgr 2012. In this post, we’ll go through step-by-step procedures to recover the CM 2012 Primary server from a good backup.
3. How to recover SCCM / ConfigMgr 2012 primary Server from CAS server?
I’m going to provide a step-by-step guide for performing the recovery procedure of a primary site (without using any site backup) from the CAS server.
4. Recovery of SCCM ConfigMgr 2012 CAS Server from SQL Backup
In this post, I used “Use a Site Database that has been manually recovered” as the site database recovery option; the CAS server retrieves the Global and Global-Proxy data from the Primary Site Server database. There are two other sets of methods to recover a CAS server: (a) Recover the CAS server from a good ConfigMgr backup and (b) Recover the CAS server via a primary server (if you don’t have a good backup of the CAS server). These two scenarios resemble the above primary server recovery (posts 2 and 3).
5. Improvements in High Availability Redundancy and Disaster Recovery Options in SCCM or ConfigMgr 2012
There are loads of improvements in ConfigMgr/SCCM 2012 regarding HA (High Availability), Redundancy, and Disaster Recovery. Clustering is still NOT supported in SCCM / ConfigMgr 2012 for site servers. In CM 2012 SP1, we can have multiple Active SUPs without using NLB.
6. How to recover SCCM or ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 Secondary Servers?
ConfigMgr’s 2007 and 2012 RTM versions don’t support recovering secondary sites. However, Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 RTM officially supports the restore.
7. How to troubleshoot SCCM / ConfigMgr Backup related issues?
Backup failures are widespread in SCCM, and I’ve seen few posts on this topic except two or three. Recently, I stumbled upon a backup issue. SMS backup failed. I restarted the services and server, checked SQL connectivity, applied hotfixes, etc.; however, I had no luck.
