You need to check which of the two content databases is being used by the site collection and restore that one. You can check that by going into Central admin site and click on Manage Content Databases. On Top right change the site collections and see which database is being used by what site. | |
| Feb 20, 2014 at 9:18 | comment | added | Splunk | Thank @Nadeem. Taking into account my scenario - do I need both content database backing up? Or can I get away with just the larger of the two? The one with the GUID? | |
| Feb 18, 2014 at 16:23 | comment | added | Nadeem Yousuf-AIS | Yes, in that case you can take regular backups of content database and restore it when needed. | |
| Feb 18, 2014 at 16:20 | comment | added | Splunk | Say user X deletes a library from a sub site or generally breaks something. Or the wrong sub site gets deleted (I don't issue permissions policy, just set them as told), then restoring the content database is a simple possible fix as opposed to restoring farm/granular backups? Sorry I've been issued this platform as my primary work stream. | |

| Feb 18, 2014 at 12:35 | comment | added | Splunk | Thank you. To clarify there is only a single web application with a single site collection up to now. | |
