<p>Microsoft SharePoint relies on a Microsoft SQL Server
(either <a href="wsgGloss.htm#SQLserver" class="glossterm"> SQL Server</a> 7.0 or <a href="wsgGloss.htm#MSDE" class="glossterm"> MSDE</a>)
<a href="wsgGloss.htm#database" class="glossterm"> database</a> to store
information such as:</p>
<UL>
<LI><b>List data </b> Information about <a href="wsgGloss.htm#Eventslist" class="glossterm">Events</a>,
<a href="wsgGloss.htm#Announcementslist" class="glossterm">Announcements</a>,
<a href="wsgGloss.htm#Taskslist" class="glossterm">Tasks</a>,
<a href="wsgGloss.htm#Contactslist" class="glossterm">Contacts</a>, and
other lists in a Microsoft SharePoint-based team Web site</LI>
<LI><b>Document library information </b> <a href="wsgGloss.htm#properties" class="glossterm">Properties</a>, such as document title, date, and size</LI>
<LI><b>Discussion and subscription data</b> <a href="wsgGloss.htm#subscription" class="glossterm">Subscription</a>
information and the actual threaded <a href="wsgGloss.htm#discussioncomment" class="glossterm"> comments</a> from
<a href="wsgGloss.htm#discussion" class="glossterm">discussions</a></LI>
<LI><b>Security data</b></LI>
</UL>
<p>Each <a href="wsgGloss.htm#virtualserver" class="glossterm">virtual server</a>
has its own database. The Webs and <a href="wsgGloss.htm#subweb" class="glossterm">
subwebs</a> on that virtual server share the database, although their information is
stored in separate tables within the database.</p>
<p>As a server <a href="wsgGloss.htm#Administratorrole" class="glossterm">administrator</a>, you can specify database settings. For example,
you can schedule automatic back-up
processes or specify the default database to
use for all Webs on a virtual server.</p>
<p>Administrators with <a href="wsgGloss.htm#rights" class="glossterm"> rights</a> to the virtual server can back up or restore the
database for the entire virtual server.</p>
