Restoring objects from a backup Undeleting objects

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to restore deleted users or groups, rather than re-create them? How can I restore a user or group in Active Directory? How does online restore work? When an object is undeleted, what is restored from the tombstone and what is restored from the backup? What's the difference between an online restore and an authoritative restore? What's the difference between the agentless restore method and the agent-based restore method? Can I undelete a mailbox-enabled user? In the Group Policy Restore Wizard, a GPO link is shown as deleted, but the link actually exists in Active Directory. What's wrong? What is a primary restore of the SYSVOL? How do I change the Backup Agent port number?
