Verify that the user account under which you run RMAD Management Shell console has the Write permission to the %ProgramData%\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory folder. Otherwise, you will get warning messages when you run the snap-in cmdlets.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) includes an MMC snap-in (also known as the Recovery Manager Console) to ensure intuitive operation and close integration with the Windows® operating system.
Note |
Machine that hosts the Recovery Manager Console must have same or higher version of Windows® operating system than the processed domain controllers. Otherwise, the online compare and object search in a backup during the online restore operation may fail. |
On the Start screen, click the Recovery Manager for Active Directory tile.
When started for the first time, the Recovery Manager Console looks similar to the following:
The main viewing area of the window is divided into two panes. The left pane contains the console tree, showing the items that are available in the snap-in. The right pane, known as the details pane, is used to display information about those items. The window also contains command menus and toolbars that are provided by both the MMC and the snap-in.
The information in the details pane changes accordingly when you select items in the console tree. To perform management tasks, you can click or right-click entries in the details pane and then use commands on the Action menu or shortcut menu.
You can move objects by selecting them in a source folder and then dragging the selection to a destination folder. If the drop operation is not allowed, the mouse pointer changes accordingly.
For more information about how to navigate an MMC snap-in, refer to Microsoft Management Console Help.
The console tree includes the following items:
Replication Using this node you can add multiple console instances to the replication console list and perform the data replication from source consoles to the local one. For more information, see Full replication and Consolidating backup registration data.
Backup Agent Management. Provides a central location for managing Backup Agent on computers added to Computer Collections. You can use this node to discover all preinstalled instances of Backup Agent and to manually install, uninstall, or update the agent on computers in Computer Collections (such as domain controllers and AD LDS (ADAM) hosts). For more information, see Managing Backup Agent.
Storage Using this node you can create and manage secondary storage locations such as Secure Storage and Cloud Storage. Computer collections can be configured to copy backups to secondary storage locations after creation and saving to remote and local storage, see Secure Storage Server and Cloud Storage.
Computer Collections. Contains a list of user-defined collections of computers. When you select a collection in the console tree, the details pane displays a list of all members of that collection. For more information, see Using Computer Collections.
Active Directory. Contains nodes representing the forests and AD LDS (ADAM) configuration sets to which the Recovery Manager Console is currently connected. You can browse forests and AD LDS (ADAM) configuration sets for computers and AD LDS (ADAM) instances, respectively.
To add a forest to the list, select Active Directory, and then, on the Action menu, click Connect to Forest.
To add an AD LDS (ADAM) configuration set to the list, select Active Directory, and then, on the Action menu, click Connect to AD LDS (ADAM).
Sessions. Contains a list of all backup-creation sessions performed by RMAD. When you select a session in the console tree, the details pane reports information about that session, such as whether backups were successfully created during the session.
Backups. Contains a list of the Active Directory® backups, AD LDS (ADAM) and BMR backups registered in the backup registration database of RMAD. When you select Active Directory or AD LDS (ADAM) under the Backups node, the details pane displays a list of all registered AD backups or AD LDS (ADAM) backups respectively.
You can use the Properties dialog box provided for the Active Directory® or AD LDS (ADAM) node, to filter the list of backups displayed in the details pane.

A firewall enabled in your environment may block traffic on ports used by Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD), preventing you from backing up or restoring data. Before you start using RMAD, make sure your firewall does not block traffic on ports used by RMAD.
This section provides instructions on how to configure built-in Windows Firewall on a the domain controllers to be backed up, so that RMAD could back up data on that computer.
