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?

Viewing backup creation results

To view backup creation results, you can examine the properties of backup creation sessions, computers, computers within a backup creation session, and backups registered in the Recovery Manager for Active Directory backup registration database.

In this section:

Sessions node properties

Session properties are used to view the details about a particular backup creation session and to stop the backup creation process, if necessary.

To display the Properties dialog box for a backup creation session

In the console tree, click Sessions.
In the details pane, click the session, and then click Properties on the Action menu.
The Properties dialog box for a backup creation session includes the Progress tab and the General tab.

General tab

The General tab is used to display general information about the session. You can click View Settings to view the settings that were used during the session. The dialog box that opens is similar to the Properties dialog box for Computer Collections.

Progress tab

You can use the Progress tab to view the progress of the backup creation process. The tab is displayed only while the session is in progress. The tab includes the following elements:

Log records. Lists computers being serviced during the current backup-creation session and displays the session result.
Abort. Stops the backup creation.
