Antimalware checks for backups

Note

Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition supports malware checks for Active Directory® backups only.

Recovery Manager for Active Directory scans BMR and Active Directory® backups for malware as a part of the verification process. The anti-virus checks are performed on the Forest Recovery Console machine by means of antivirus software installed on the machine. Check Release Notes for a list of supported antivirus software.

 

Centralized remote administration

Recovery Manager for Active Directory makes it possible to create, update, and apply Active Directory® backups remotely across an entire network. It can be installed on an administrator’s workstation, allowing all operations to be performed from a single, central location. These operations include the creation, update, and storage of backups, as well as the restoration of Active Directory® and Group Policy data from a backup.

Backups created with Recovery Manager for Active Directory can be stored in a central location, at several locations on a distributed network, or on selected computers with physically restricted access. Access to Active Directory® backups can be restricted using backup encryption along with security mechanisms provided by the operating system.

 

Secondary Storage for backups

Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition provides secondary storage options for critical backups with Secure Storage server and Cloud Storage features.

Using a Secure Storage server or Cloud Storage in your disaster recovery plans helps prevent unauthorized modifications or malware attacks on backup data. Even if you lose your DCs, primary (Tier 1) storage and even your Recovery Manager server, you still have backups on secondary storage to withstand a ransomware attack.

A Secure Storage server is a dedicated secure backup storage server, hardened by Recovery Manager for Active Directory and isolated according to IPSec rules. Using Cloud storage you can set up and use immutable storage for your business-critical backups. Immutable storage protects your backups from being overwritten or deleted.

 

Audit of objects and operations

To assist with troubleshooting lost or changed Active Directory® objects, AD LDS (ADAM) objects, or Group Policy objects, Recovery Manager for Active Directory provides the ability to compare the current state of individual objects in Active Directory® or AD LDS (ADAM) with that in an Active Directory® or AD LDS (ADAM) backup. This functionality is particularly useful for locating the source of and resolving problems resulting from the deletion or modification of critical objects.

During a restore operation, Recovery Manager for Active Directory allows for the creation of comparison reports, which present the changes that have occurred in Active Directory® or AD LDS (ADAM) since the last backup, without actually applying changes to Active Directory® or AD LDS (ADAM). Such reports show the objects that were deleted or modified since the backup was made. In addition, they show the properties of directory objects and settings of Group Policy objects that would change during the operation. An administrator can then review these changes and decide whether to apply them.
