INTRODUCTION

The Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Backup and Restore utility requires Microsoft SQL Server tools to function. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Web Edition does not support enterprise programs, including SQL Server. Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) also provides the SQL tools that the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Backup and Restore utility requires, and MSDE 2000 is supported on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition-based computers.

MORE INFORMATION

If you want to use the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Backup and Restore utility on a Windows Server 2003 Web Edition-based computer, install MSDE 2000.
