SharePoint 2010 and Windows Server Backup. A couple of months ago, a friend found a bit of information on TechNet that has proven to be quite useful. See, I am of the opinion SharePoint allows for smaller deployments to be made, and with that said, I am talking about SharePoint Foundation 2010 being used for the most part. But truly the point here is not to discuss whether or not a deployment of SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 is right or not. The fact is they do take place and happen. And information will reside there. Now, the point of this post is to raise awareness on options available for companies that have implemented it and maybe are a bit “iffy” on how to protect the information being placed in libraries and lists. In many cases I have found SharePoint comes first and business continuity becomes an afterthought. Hope you find this to be a helpful post.

Otherwise, the XSLT Data View Web Part is a wonderful web part, you can aggregate data from a variety of sources and present them in an awesome way.
In SharePoint 2007, we also had List View Web Part, which could be used to show a list content in a page but you cannot customize it that much in SPD 2007, you have to convert it to XSLT Data View Web part in order to customize or extend it. MOSS 2007 Employee Directory web part using Search and Data View web parts « Shankar’s Musings. One of the frequent requests from my customers in a MOSS 2007 implementation is an employee directory webpart. During the pre-sales cycle they are excited to see the Active Directory integration and the first question they ask is ” Can this replace our existing employee directory out of the box ?”.
Unfortunately there are no out of the box web parts at this time to display an employee directory from the user profiles. Bamboo Solutions(Link) has a great package that provides some of these webparts. However if you don’t need the robust suite from Bamboo, the same can be built using MOSS 2007 Search and the Data View webpart.
