Online Restore Wizard for AD LDS (ADAM)

The Online Restore Wizard for AD LDS (ADAM) helps you recover AD LDS (ADAM) objects deleted or modified since the backup. With this wizard you can selectively restore individual directory objects and object attributes from an AD LDS (ADAM) instance backup, compare a backup with an AD LDS (ADAM) instance, and compare two backups taken from the same AD LDS (ADAM) instance. The wizard has the following steps:

The following table shows the steps and associated dialogs which will appear during the restore. On the left, are the steps and dialogs that will be taken/displayed for the Compare, analyze, and optionally restore selection, when made on the Action Selection dialog of the restore. Some of the dialogs will appear more than once, because you are given a chance to make changes based on the report that is generated. Also a restore report can be generated near the end of the restore.

On the right, are the steps and dialogs that are taken/displayed for the Restore (skip compare analysis) selection, when made on the Action Selection dialog of the restore. Since you are not going to generate a report and just want to restore there are a lot less steps/dialogs and only a restore report can be generated near the end of the restore.

Steps, if your choice is to compare and analyze an AD LDS (ADAM) item before doing a restore. Steps, if your choice is to not compare and analyze an AD LDS (ADAM) item and go straight to doing a restore.
