The Properties dialog box opens, allowing you to specify what to back up, where to store backups, and what kind of logging to use. In addition, the Properties dialog box allows you to manage the backup creation schedule for the Collection and specify the user account under which the scheduled backup creation operation will run.
All settings specified in the Properties dialog box for a Computer Collection only relate to that Computer Collection. Different Computer Collections may have different properties.
For more information about Computer Collection properties, see Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
This only deletes the Computer Collection you selected along with the computer and container shortcuts it includes and the backup creation tasks scheduled for that Computer Collection. The containers, domain controllers, and AD LDS (ADAM) hosts whose shortcuts were added to the Computer Collection are not deleted. Deleting a Computer Collection does not delete the backups that were created for that Collection.
For each Computer Collection (applicable to all domain controllers within a collection), you can specify a user account that will be used to access the following:
Backup Agent that is manually or automatically installed on domain controllers in the Computer Collection. The account is used for the following operations:
backup creation
discover Backup Agent instances or update Backup Agent information
install, upgrade or uninstall Backup Agent instances
Locations on target domain controllers or UNC shares where backup files created for the Computer Collection are to be saved. For more information on how to specify these locations, see Remote Storage tab section in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
These credentials are also used to connect to Active Directory in the following cases:
Show or refresh the content of collections that contain containers
Operate on collections that contain container-items
This account is used for backup unpacking only if no account is configured on the Remote Storage tab
For example: modifying an exclusion list for a container; installing the Backup Agent from a collection menu, collecting diagnostic data, etc.
In the Recovery Manager Console tree, select the Computer Collection for which you want to specify an access account.
From the main menu, select Action | Properties.
On the Agent Settings tab, select the Use the following account to access Backup Agent check box.
Click Select Account, and specify the user name and password of the account with which you want to access Backup Agent, backup storages, and global catalog servers.
When finished, click OK.
You can also specify a separate account that will be used to access the backup storage on the Remote Storage tab.
If no access account is specified on the Agent Settings tab and no scheduled tasks exist for the Computer Collection, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will use the account under which the Recovery Manager Console is currently running.
If no access account is specified and a backup creation task is scheduled for the Computer Collection, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will use the account under which the scheduled task is run. You can view and change this account on the Schedule tab in the Properties dialog box for a Computer Collection. For more information, see Schedule tab subsection in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
Note |
The scheduled task account is not used to access the Remote Storage from the agent side. The agent uses a local system account on a domain controller for this operation. |
For additional information about the account requirements, please refer Permissions required for the Backup operation.
You can add specific domain controllers to a Computer Collection. You can select domain controllers in the details pane after browsing the console tree and selecting the container that holds the domain controllers you want to add. Domains available for a forest are located under the Active Directory/Forest <Name> node; containers are located under domain nodes. You can add forests to the Active Directory node by using the Connect to Forest command on the node’s Action menu. A Computer Collection can hold domain controllers from multiple containers.
Right-click the Computer Collection, point to Add, and then click Domain Controller.
In the Select Computers dialog box, enter the domain controller name or select the domain controller from the list and click OK. The Select Computers dialog box allows you to specify multiple domain controller names.
Browse the console tree to select the container that holds the domain controllers you want to add.
In the details pane, select the domain controllers you want to add. To select multiple domain controllers, hold down CTRL, and click the domain controllers.
On the Action menu, click Add to Collection.
In the dialog box that opens, select an existing Computer Collection or click New Collection to create and select a new Computer Collection.
In the dialog box, click OK.
Note |
Alternatively, you can drag the domain controllers selected in the details pane to the target Computer Collection in the console tree or use the Copy and Paste commands. |
You can add domain controllers to a Computer Collection by using an import file that contains a list of domain controller names or IP addresses. Importing domain controllers from a file overcomes the limitations inherent to the Select Computers dialog box and is convenient when you need to add a large group of domain controllers.
An import file is a text file that contains one domain controller name or IP address per line. For example:
123.123.123.123
Domain Controller Name 1
Domain Controller Name 2
213.213.213.213
Create an import file that contains domain controller names or IP addresses.
Right-click the Computer Collection, point to Add, and then click Import Computers.
Use the Open dialog box to locate and open the import file.
