To back up a site collection by using Central Administration

Verify that the user account performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group. Additionally, verify that the Windows SharePoint Services Timer V4 service has Full Control permissions on the backup folder.

In Central Administration, on the Home page, in the Backup and Restore section, click Perform a site collection backup.

On the Site collection backup page, select the site collection from the Site Collection list.

Type the local path of the backup file in the Filename box.

If you want to reuse a file, select the Overwrite existing file check box.

SharePoint calculated column and hyperlink or Link (no workflows or scripts needed)

This is a process how you make the Link column in your sharepoint link original url Create a calculated column which concatenate the url text with an existing column value. This seems to be an easy task, except one thing: SharePoint doest not render hyperlink in calculated column by default. For example, I have a list with 2 columns: Search term and Google Search. Google Search is a calculated column with this formula Now, this is what I will get by default: There are a few ways to fix this problem. Usually people will recommend you to create a Hyperlink column instead and create a workflow to update the Hyperlink value ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ar/sharepoint2010customization/thread/32d32e47-3256-4806-8775-c250b6243038 ) . Or, you can place a script on the page that loop through the HTML nodes and replace the unfriendly html tags with a hyperlink as described here http://practicalsharepoint.blogspot.com/2011/10/dynamic-hyperlinks-in-calculated.html ...
