  • Here are some recommendations for implementing RMAD to backup your 20-30 ADs:

    Installation:

    • Centralized Management: Install the RMAD Management Console on a dedicated workstation for central control.
    • Scalability: Consider the number of DCs and data volume when choosing the SQL Server edition for the RMAD database.

    Configuration:

    • Backup Schedules: Set appropriate backup schedules for each domain, considering change frequency and RPO (Recovery Point Objective).
    • Granular Recovery: Enable granular recovery options if you need to restore specific objects or attributes.
    • Storage Management: Choose a reliable storage solution with sufficient capacity for backups and consider offsite replication for disaster recovery.
    • Security: Secure your backups with encryption and restrict access to sensitive data.

    Additional Tips:

    • Test Restores: Perform regular test restores to ensure your backups are functional.
    • Documentation: Document your RMAD configuration for future reference and troubleshooting.
    • User Training: Train your IT staff on using RMAD for backups and restores.

    These are just some starting points. For a more comprehensive setup, consult the official RMAD documentation koows echat or consider contacting Quest Software support for further guidance.

    Good luck with your RMAD implementation!
