Group-connected SharePoint site was restored after the group was deleted
Hello, I'm not sure if this post is a topic for SharePoint or Office Groups. I know a deleted Office group can be restored for 30 days. The SharePoint site for 93 days via the SharePoint recycle bin. Now we have a situation that we restored a site after 70 days, and yes, the connected group was already deleted. I found no description from Microsoft about this case. We saw the site has issues related to the missing group. What are the known or recommended steps in such cases? Can we recreate a new, empty group for the SharePoint site? In a normal case it's possible to connect a new group to an existing, not group-connected SharePoint team site. But this option is not available for a restored team site. Thanks for some information.Restore-SPSite Throws DirectoryNotFoundException
I have a SP2013 Farm and today we had a site collection with lots of lookup fields in lists get corrupted. The lists have lost their referential integrity. So - I figured that we could restore that site collection from last night's backup. We restored the content database backup to another SQL server and then I went into Central Admin and did the Recover Data from an Unattached Database. I found the Site Collection from the backup file and backed-up the site collection to a file on a fileshare. In order to test the backup file, I created a new web application on the same server and created the same paths. The original path was http://reinfonet/apps/data and the new path is http://spweb1:8282/apps/data When I run the following command: Restore-SPSite -identity http://spweb1:8282/apps/data -path c:\spback\datasc.bak -Force I get the following error: Restore-SPSite : <nativehr>0x80070003</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack> At line:1 char:1 + Restore-SPSite -identity http://spweb1:8282/sites/data -path c:\spbak\datasc.bak ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...dletRestoreSite:SPCmdletRestoreSite) [Restore-SPSite], DirectoryNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletRestoreSite All searching on the internet says that the versions might be different, but that is usually when someone is trying to restore into a different farm. I'm restoring from a backup of the same farm. Any ideas? I'm stuck and this is a production site collection.
