Extract all files from Sharepoint database

_{Wednesday, January 26, 2011 12:04 PM}

I received a 500Gb sharepoint database, and must extract all the files from it. I have been Googling for days, but all threads seems to be very old. The best tool I found so far is "Database Exporter" http://blog.dreamdevil.com/index.php/2007/03/13/sharepoint_2003_database_exporter/

Unfortunately you have to do it manually, folder by folder and there are thousands :-)

Does anyone know about some other tool? The database has been mounted to a SQL server.

Hi Steen,

I think the SharePoint Database Explorer tool is suitable for your requirement.

Here are the steps:

You can Download the source code of the project, and then custom the project. so that you don’t have to create the folder manually.

Metalogix Also have a Tool that can do this for MOSS 2007 and SP 2010

Alternatively if you extend SharePointDBExporter with a recursive loop it will also do the job
