When creating a backup, RMAD queries its configuration settings about what backup options to use. You specify configuration settings in the Defaults dialog box for the Computer Collections node or a Computer Collection (Computer Collection properties). You can also view and modify the settings being used by the Backup Wizard.
The Properties dialog box includes the Performance tab where you can set a number of backup options related to backup creation performance tuning.
Do one of the following:
Right-click the Computer Collections node and then click Collection Defaults.
Right-click the Computer Collection and then click Properties.
Click Advanced on the Completing the Backup Wizard page.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Performance tab.
To limit the total bandwidth used by backup agents when transferring data over network links, select the Enable bandwidth throttling check box. In Maximum network use, specify the maximum total bandwidth backup agents can use. Use bandwidth throttling to prevent excessive network traffic backup agents may cause creating backups for particular Computer Collections.
To limit the percentage of CPU processing time backup agents can use on each computer when creating backups for particular Computer Collections, select the Enable backup agent CPU throttling check box. In Maximum CPU use, specify the maximum percentage of CPU processing time backup agents can use. Use CPU throttling to prevent excessive CPU load backup agents may cause on the computers being backed up.
Under Parallel backup tuning, specify the maximum number of computers RMAD services in parallel when creating backups. The default setting is 10 computers. Increasing this number can speed backup creation. However, when RMAD services a number of computers in parallel and the connection is near its limits, network saturation problems may occur. Symptoms of network saturation include slow network response when transferring data by backup agents, and possibly “RPC server unavailable” error messages when connecting to backup agents. If you are experiencing such problems, decrease the number.
From the Data compression list, select the compression method backup agents will use when processing data before sending it over network links. Using higher compression reduces network traffic, but increases CPU load on the computers being backed up.
Default settings are used for newly created Computer Collections. By changing properties of a certain Computer Collection, you define the settings specific to that collection. Different Computer Collections may have differing settings.
The Backup Wizard uses default settings unless other settings are specified using the Advanced button on the Completing the Backup Wizard page.

The Properties dialog box includes the Advanced, Local Storage, Remote Storage, and Agent Settings tabs where you can set a number of advanced backup options.
Do one of the following:
Right-click the Computer Collections node and then click Collection Defaults.
Right-click the Computer Collection and then click Properties.
Click Advanced on the Completing the Backup Wizard page.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Local Storage or Remote Storage tab. To have Recovery Manager for Active Directory store copies of backups in an additional location, select the Additional backup path(optional) check box and specify format for the path and name of the backup file. Having an additional instance of each backup stored in an alternate location may be required to ensure the availability of backups.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab. To limit the maximum backup session time, select the checkbox Limit maximum backup time or Limit maximum DC backup time and specify the time.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Agent tab, and then do the following:
To have Recovery Manager for Active Directory initialize Backup Agent using a different account, select the Access back p agent and backup files using the specified account check box and click Select Account to supply the user logon name and password of an account that has administrator privileges on the serviced computers. Using a special account for the Backup Agent initialization may be required when RMAD cannot be configured to run under an account with administrator privileges on the serviced computers.
To have the application use preinstalled Backup Agent when backing up the Computer Collection, select the Use preinstalled Backup Agent check box.

Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) Forest Edition helps you recover the entire Active Directory® forest if a forest-wide failure renders all domain controllers in the forest incapable of functioning normally.
To recover an Active Directory® forest, RMAD employs a Forest Recovery Agent. The Forest Recovery Agent must be installed on each domain controller in the forest before starting a forest recovery operation.
For more information about the agent, see Managing Forest Recovery Agent in the Recovery Manager for Active Directory User Guide.
Recovery Manager for Active Directory can unpack backups and keep the unpacked data in the location you specify to reuse the data for subsequent starts of the Online Restore Wizard or Group Policy Restore Wizard. The use of unpacked backups accelerates operations the wizards perform during the backup data preparation step, because unpacking a backup can be a lengthy operation.
