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:
Method 1: Automatically select backups based on your criteria. Allows you to automatically select specific backups for multiple domain controllers according to the backup selection criteria you specify.
Method 2: Manually select backups. Allows you to manually select any backup for a given domain controller in the recovery project. You can only select from backups created with Recovery Manager for Active Directory.
The next sections describe each of these methods.

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. |
When you are finished, click OK.
