Specifying recovery settings for a DC

You can set individual recovery settings for each domain controller in your recovery project. For more information about these settings, see Domain controller recovery settings and progress.

To specify recovery settings for a domain controller

  1. Create or open a recovery project.

  2. In the list of domain controllers, select the domain controller for which you want to specify recovery settings.

  3. Use the General tab to specify recovery settings.

 

Selecting backups for recovery

You can only restore domain controllers from backups created with Recovery Manager for Active Directory. The Forest Recovery Console provides the following methods for you to select backups for recovery:

The next sections describe each of these methods.

 

Method 1: Automatically select backups based on your criteria

You can use the Forest Recovery Console to automatically select backups for multiple domain controllers in your recovery project. This method allows you to specify a time period, and then automatically select the latest backup created in that period for particular domain controllers in the project.

To automatically select backups

  1. Specify your backup selection criteria:

    a. Create or open a recovery project.

    b. On the Forest Recovery Console toolbar, click Backup Criteria.

    c. Select one of the following options:

Automatic backup selection options

Option Description
Use the latest backup, but not older than … days Allows you to use the most recent backup registered with Recovery Manager for Active Directory for a given domain controller.
Use latest backup created before <Date> and after <Date> Allows you to specify a date range and use the most recent backup from that range for a particular domain controller.
Use backups on DCs whenever possible Not supported for BMR backups. When this check box is selected, Recovery Manager for Active Directory first searches DCs to be restored for backups that meet the criteria you have specified. If no suitable backups found on the DCs, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will search the Forest Recovery Console computer for backups. By selecting this check box, you can avoid unnecessary backup file copying from the Forest Recovery Console to the DCs to be restored and thus speed up the recovery process.

  1. When you are finished, click OK.

  2. Specify the domain controllers for which you want to automatically select backups:

    a. Hold down CTRL, and then click to select such domain controllers in the list of domain controllers.

    b. Open the General tab, and then select the Use backup criteria to automatically select a backup check box.

To view which backup was automatically selected for a domain controller, select that domain controller in the list, open the Settings tab, and see the backup file path and name in the Backup file box.

To manually select a different backup, clear the Use backup criteria to automatically select a backup check box, and click the Select button to select a backup.
