Recovery Manager for Active Directory employs a Backup Agent to back up data on domain controllers and AD LDS (ADAM) hosts added to Computer Collections. For this reason, the Backup Agent must be installed on each computer where you plan to back up data by using Recovery Manager for Active Directory.
For each Computer Collection, you can specify whether you want to use only preinstalled instances of Backup Agent or want to automatically install Backup Agent when necessary. You can configure Recovery Manager for Active Directory in one of the following ways:
Use preinstalled Backup Agent only. When configured this way, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will only use the Backup Agent you manually preinstalled on the computers in the Computer Collection.
Use preinstalled Backup Agent and automatically install the agent when necessary. With this method, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will use preinstalled Backup Agent if it is present on the target computer. If the Backup Agent is missing, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will automatically install it before backing up data on the target computer, and then will automatically remove the automatically installed agent upon the backup operation completion.
You can specify one of these methods in the Computer Collection properties. For more information, see Agent Settings tab subsection in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
In this section:
NOTE |
For Recovery Manager for Active Directory 10.1 or higher: Make sure that you use the Backup Agent version supplied with this release of Recovery Manager for Active Directory. |
You can configure Recovery Manager for Active Directory to automatically install the Backup Agent on each computer (domain controller and AD LDS (ADAM) host) added to a particular Computer Collection. After you do so, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will automatically install the Backup Agent before backing up a computer where the agent is not preinstalled. When the backup operation completes, Recovery Manager for Active Directory will remove the automatically installed Backup Agent.
If the Backup Agent is already preinstalled on the target computer to be backed up, Recovery Manager for Active Directory does not automatically deploy the agent and uses the preinstalled agent instead.
In order Recovery Manager for Active Directory could automatically install the Backup Agent, the user account under which Recovery Manager for Active Directory accesses the target Computer Collection must have specific permissions. For more information, see Permissions required to use Recovery Manager for Active Directory.
NOTE |
Check that the Administrative Share Admin$ exists and is accessible on the target domain controller to perform the remote agent installation. |
Windows Server automatically creates Administrative Shares. If the automatic creation of shares was disabled (Microsoft KB Article 954422), re-enable the automatic shares creation.
Check that Administrative Shares are accessible. Fore details, see Shared Folders in Microsoft documentation.
In the Recovery Manager Console tree, expand the Computer Collections node.
Locate the Computer Collection that holds the computers on which you want to automatically install the Backup Agent.
Right-click the Computer Collection, and then click Properties.
On the Agent Settings tab, make sure that the Use preinstalled Backup Agent check box is cleared.
For more information about this check box, see Agent Settings tab subsection in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
