Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition automates the Active Directory domain or forest recovery process enabling you to recover to a point-in-time before the directory became corrupt. It selects unaffected backups, quarantines the damaged environment, and automates all the manual steps required to facilitate a quick and successful domain or forest recovery.
With real-time recovery planning and flexible recovery pacing, you can see an overview of every recovery stage and operation in your project and create pauses whenever needed. Once you're ready to continue the recovery, simply resume from the point where it was paused. This capability also enables a follow-the-sun approach to domain or forest recovery, allowing you to focus on the sites that require immediate attention first.
Why restore an entire Active Directory domain or forest?
Extensive AD disasters can occur, such as an unwanted schema extension or irreversible corruption of the database. These types of major disasters result in unplanned directory downtime causing business critical applications, such as financial systems or customer databases, to be unavailable for days. This type of lengthy disruption significantly impacts end-user productivity and ultimately your organization’s bottom line.
The Forest Edition recovery process is closely aligned with Microsoft’s native forest recovery approach providing customers the option to restore some DCs from backup and others through uninstalling and reinstalling AD with DCPromo.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition is based on patent-pending technology.
