Administrative Backup and Restore

[Joe]

Hi Project Server gurus, I submit to you this:

In the Database Administration section of Server Settings - when one
uses the Adminstrative Backup and Restore, which version of the
project is it copying to Archive? (Draft, Working, Published??)

I ask this because we recently discovered that our "saved & scheduled"
Administrative Backups were not actually happening - because we went
to restore a lost project and found nothing but months old items.

Any ideas why the scheduled Administrative Backups stop running?
(Reset of IIS, Timer service, Queue service??)


Thank you for any valuable insight.

Hi Joe.

I have a similar doubt. If a review the Administrative Restore list (view

all the projects have different Version Description and Version Date.
So, what's the backup criteria of this functionality? I thought this was a
daily backup.

Contrary to what is published on technet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-nz/library/cc197314(en-us).aspx my experience
is that projects are backed up from either draft or published DB's, depending
on which stores the latest version.

Backup's require the Queue Service and SharePoint Timer Service in order to
run
