Blocked file extensions in SharePoint

SharePoint maintains a list of blocked file types based on the filename extension. The default list is documented here.You can change this list using Central Administration. Each web application has its own list which will apply to all site collections in the web application.To maintain the list run Central Administartion and navigate to Operations + Blocked File Types.

We do need to backup SharePoint

Someone left a comment today on an old post asking about writing batch file scripts to backup Sharepoint 2007. Here is an example of one that I have written:@echo offecho ====================================================echo Backup Script For Office SharePoint Server 2007echo ====================================================@echo offstsadm.exe -o backup -url http://youresite -filename c:\whereyouwanttosavethebackupforyoursitecollection -overwrite@echo offecho completedI run this off of the built in Scheduler on Server 2003 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I have three batch files. I usually have two lines of stsadm.exe command lines, so that I can backup the SSP also. I put the batch files in "C:\program files\common files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN", so that the files have easy access to Stsadm.exe. I have tested the products before when me or a colleague mess up a page in Sharepoint. We have actually used the restore command in a vpc brought back the sites and gone into Sharepoint Designer to get a single site to port back to the client site. I think that if you are running a Sharepoint Site used by multiple people that you should at least back up your files twice a week. If anyone has any questions please post comments and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
