Sharepoint (WSS 3.0) Restore Question

[Domo]

We have a corrupt Excel file in one of our document libraries which we need to restore. Is it possible to restore that one file from a full farm backup without restoring the entire farm?

Same response I got on TechNet forums - just didn't want to believe it! Thanks.

These tools are available for 2007.

I will make a note to find them tomorrow

You're right - there's a whole bunch of stuff by Quest, in fact I've just downloaded a trial version of their recovery software. A desktop client which can query a .bak file and restore individual objects.

We've also purchased Control Point by Axceler - much better central admin than that provided in MOSS + granular controls when migrating sites from one farm to another. An additional view £k but hopefully worth the investment.
