Archiving Projects/Isues/Risks SOP

[Paul Schaefer]

Hi all,

Is anyone out there archiving projects yet? We are looking to see how other
folks are handling the archiving of schedules, issues, risks, etc. Right now
we are archiving a version of the schedule in SharePoint, but leave the
dashboards active so we don't lose issues, risks, etc.

Thanks!

Couple of suggestions:

1. Follow this article to get an archiving idea:

How do I archive completed projects in the production Project Server database?

2. I've been using this stale tasks deletion process alongwith above article:

3. For Sharepoint sites backups, you can use Smigrate.exe &/or Stsadm.exe.
check this article to get an idea. Check "Summary Options" section for
comparison of different WSS backup methods.
