Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition

• Online, Granular Restore – Restore directory objects without the need to restart domain controllers.
• Comparison Reporting – Use reports that compare the online state of AD with its backup, highlighting changes made to the directory data since the backup. Comparisons can also be made between different backups. Reports display the objects that were deleted or changed, including attributes. If you’re running Quest ChangeAuditor®, the comparison reports will also include who made the changes.
• Comprehensive Recovery Options – Take advantage of the only solution of its kind that enables you to restore any object in AD, including users, groups, computers, organizational units (OUs), sites, subnets, configuration, Exchange storage groups and Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
• Attribute-Level Restore – Restore individual attributes, such as account settings, group memberships and binary attributes – even when the object itself has not been deleted. This enables administrators to restore only the required attributes without affecting other attributes.
• Automation of Manual Tasks – Automate manual steps to save vast amounts of time and eliminate the risk of human error. Using native tools to recover a domain or forest requires numerous and lengthy manual steps repeated on each domain controller, resulting in a very slow and tedious recovery that’s prone to human error.
• Flexible Recovery Pacing – Create pauses in your recovery project that allow you to automatically suspend the recovery of one or more DCs, and then manually resume the recovery of these DCs from the point where they were paused. This enables you to perform important tasks that might be required outside of the product.
• Remote Quarantine – Automatically and remotely quarantine corrupt domain controllers so they won’t replicate with the newly restored environment.
• Recovery Planning – Generate a detailed recovery process roadmap for the current recovery project. This overview of every recovery stage and operation allows you to gain a better understanding and more control of every aspect of the process.
• Simultaneous System Recovery – Restore all domain controllers in your domain or forest simultaneously from one centralized location. This eliminates the need to manually interface with each domain controller separately, saving a significant amount of time and effort.
• Virtual Lab Environment – Create a virtual lab environment with data from your production environment to accurately and safely perform testing prior to making changes in the production domain or forest. Existing computer collections can be used for the virtual lab environment.
• Consolidated Backups – Consolidate backups created by different Recovery Manager Console instances to speed time to resolution.
• Diagnostic Data Collection – Use the Forest Recovery Console as a central location for collecting diagnostic data from all domain controllers in your recovery project. You no longer have to interface with each domain controller in the project individually to collect logs and other Active Directory data in order to establish the cause of a recovery failure or determine why Active Directory is not functioning properly.
