Is there a way to back up all the GPO's created in the GPOAdmin console? Can this be done in the event of a disaster recovery.
GPOadmin backs up all the registered GPOs, no matter if they were created within GPOAdmin or elsewhere, as long as they are registered within the product.
As long as you backup the backup store and the Version Control store, you can always recover from any disaster.
GPOADmin Backup Requirements
As part of your normal disaster procedures or requirements, GPOADmin should be considered for inclusion. In the event of a computer or network failure, the GPOADmin deployment and its data can be restored if you have performed regular and distributed backups of the following:
• The GPOADmin configuration store.
• The GPO backups store.
During the initial installation of GPOADmin, you must specify where to place these two items within your environment. The configuration store can reside in either AD LDS or SQL.
The GPO backup store can be in AD LDS, a network share, or on a SQL server. The recommended location is on a network share.
Each of these options has its own backup strategies and requirements and should be included in your regular backup schedule.
