System Center Data Protection Manager 2010

Symptoms

Assume that you perform an item-level recovery on a Microsoft SharePoint site in System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010. Additionally, assume that the site collection name contains a space. In this situation, the item-level recovery fails.

Cause

The WssCmdletsWrapper process (WssCmdletsWrapper.exe) uses a string comparison to identify the site collection. However, the process compares the site collection name in the database to a URL-encoded version of the string. In the URL-encoded version, a space is replaced with "%20." Therefore, the string comparison does not find a match.

To resolve this issue, install hotfix rollup package 7 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2010. For more information about hotfix rollup package 7 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2010, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
