Move SharePoint 2010 Site Collection from one farm to another with RBS is enabled on the source Site collection

Note: to configure RBS for SharePoint 2010 then you can check this document “Configuring Remote Blob Storage (RBS) for SharePoint”
https://www.knowledgecue.com/pdf/ConfiguringRemoteBlobStorageforSharePointKnowledgeCue.pdf

I have a case to move Site Collection from one farm to another farm but the source site collection is enabled with RBS feature so I will follow the below Steps:

  1. Take Normal Full Backup for the Content Database [Source Site Collection] from SQL Server Management Studio or T-SQL

    1. SQL Server will include File stream objects with this backup
    2. File stream objects will restored to the same Database Folder
  2. Enable FILESTREAM on the destination SQL Server [ In my case SQL 2008 Server R2 ]

    1. If you restored the database in destination SQL Server before enabling FILESTREAM then you will get this error

       

  3. To enable FILESTREAM

    1. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager

    2. Right Click on SQL Server Service and select Properties

       
       

    3. Restart SQL Server Service

    4. Run the following commands one by one
      EXEC sp_configure  filestream_access_level, 2
      RECONFIGURE

  4. Restore Content Database Backup in SQL Server destination Server

    1. Don’t forget to grant SharePoint farm user db_owner access to this database after restoring it
  5. Copy RBS.msi setup file to SQL Server , for example under c:\ disk

  6. Open CMD and go to C:\ path and then run the following Command [Change the highlighted text as your settings]
    msiexec /qn /lvx* rbs_install_log.txt /i RBS.msi TRUSTSERVERCERTIFICATE=true FILEGROUP=PRIMARY DBNAME="WSS_Content_DB" DBINSTANCE="DBInstanceName" FILESTREAMFILEGROUP=RBSFilestreamProvider FILESTREAMSTORENAME=FilestreamProvider_1
     

  7. You can check if you have installed the file successfully by opening rbs_install_log.txt in the same disk where the RBS.msi setup exits, go to the end of file and check if you can find “Product: SQL Server 2008 R2 Remote Blob Store -- Installation completed successfully”

  8. Mount Content Database using SharePoint Management Shell
    Mount-SPContentDatabase -Name WSS_Content_DB -WebApplication https://test

  9. Copy RBS.msi setup file to SharePoint Web Servers or Frontend Servers , for example under  c:\ disk

  10. Open CMD and go to C:\ path and then run the following Command [ Change the highlighted text ]
    msiexec /qn /lvx* rbs_install_log.txt /i RBS.msi DBNAME="WSS_Content_DB" DBINSTANCE=" DBInstanceName" ADDLOCAL="Client,Docs,Maintainer,ServerScript,FilestreamClient,FilestreamServ

  11. You can check if you have installed the file successfully by opening rbs_install_log.txt in the same disk where the RBS.msi setup exits, go to the end of file and check if you can find “Product: SQL Server 2008 R2 Remote Blob Store -- Installation completed successfully”

  12. Open SharePoint Management Shell if the Site Collection is not enabled with RBS and run the below commands:
    $cdb = Get-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content_DB
    $rbss = $cdb.RemoteBlobStorageSettings
    $rbss.Installed()
    $rbss.Enable()
    $rbss.SetActiveProviderName($rbss.GetProviderNames()[0])
    $rbss

Finally test the Site and try to upload new files to document library and then check FILESTREAM folder if there is any changes or records added by checking the created date.

    Hi The article is great. But I have read at few places that you can restore an RBS enabled database to a normal database (without RBS). Do you know how to do that? Thanks in advance.
