Even though I focus on SharePoint, thats not all ! I have over 20 years experience in software development, covering CTI, Client Server, Single Tier, Multi, Web based and more. We follow the development life cycle which marries practical software design principles with SSADM.
Introduction
From a conversation I had with a SharePoint Administrator:
“Eeee. The client wants site by site backup – that’s going to take me a while to sort out. I need to backup 500 sites via command line but want to know how big the sites are. I also need to know how long each backup took. I know SharePoint has Powershell but I simply don’t have the time to write a script – also, I only want to backup sites which have changed either today, this week, or just want to backup them all up”.

A poster to advertise Sharepoint 2010. Software developers can use the SharePoint 2010 developer platform to build business collaboration applications for the enterprise and the Web using familiar tools and a rich set of integrated, out-of-the-box features. SharePoint 2010 includes new extensible framework features for building business collaboration applications, including Silverlight™ web parts and Client APIs, LINQ to SharePoint, Business Connectivity Services and Sandboxed Solutions.

Trying to extract a GUID from a site component directly is a hassle. And the developers always asked for a GUID from a list etc. Options was to give them Design Rights to a List so they could use the ahem ‘Famous’ hack of extracting it from the List Settings, or writing a script! I thought, aha, a script sounds better, but lets give it some options!
GEGETLISTID gets the list title, description, number of items in the list, the list items (and optionally the ability to turn that output off) and of course, the List ID! It works against all components of the site, e.g. Shared Documents, Calendars, Tasks, Web Parts List, etc. GEGETLISTID works against a site, do you must enter the name of the site when running the command.
The output can be pushed to a text file of your choice or by default goes to GEGETLIST.TXT

This little nifty and FREE application allows SharePoint administrators to list group membership and ownership for all users or specfic against all or specific sites and subsites! Works for SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010.
List User Rights against all sites, or a specific site or a specific with site against a specific user ID and with the ability to select users against a specific permission. Updated to run against version .6237
Oh yes, I need to mention that you should watch out for this tools older brother which is a GUI with lots more options – for example, the ability to set rights on users team site access without having to visit the site!

The command line backup / restore routine in SharePoint environment whilst good does not offer any scheduling capability. There are of course products providing granular backup (e.g. DOCAVE) but this is geared to corporate site collections. This document describes the GEMBACKUP application, that can facilitiate the backup of the SharePoint environments and how to backup site collections using a tool I wrote that enumerates the sites and creates a backup batch file that can be scheduled using Windows Scheduler.
