About Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory

It is crucial for any modern business to maintain the availability of its network-computer environment at all times. Unplanned downtime caused by a disastrous event, such as a directory service malfunction, can severely disrupt the operation of a business. Therefore, business-critical infrastructures demand the ability to recover failed systems and services in the shortest possible time.

Recovery Manager for Active Directory employs advanced technologies to minimize the downtime caused by the corruption or improper modification of Active Directory, Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS), formerly known as Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), and Group Policy data. This product allows for automatic backup, and fast, remotely managed recovery of data stored in Active Directory.

Recovery Manager for Active Directory dramatically reduces the time required to restore Active Directory, AD LDS (ADAM), and Group Policy data. This improves the availability of corporate networks and reduces network downtime.
