    note: If a computer collection has been configured with no access credentials to read the backup file a warning icon will be displayed. To enter access credentials refer to Computer Collection Properties Secondary Storage tab. If the computer collection has both local and remote primary storage configured, the local storage will be used to copy to Cloud Storage and access credentials for local storage are required.

Cloud Storage Upload Sessions

After a backup creation session completes for a computer collection and the backup is saved to configured primary storage locations (Tier 1), an upload session will be started to copy the backup to all cloud storage locations. Recovery Manager for Active Directory supports multiple Cloud Storage locations per computer collection.

The backup upload session is created and managed with the Quest Recovery Manager Cloud Storage service on the Recovery Manager console machine. Each backup upload session is displayed in the Backup Upload Sessions pane. For each session, you can view the backup file path, upload location, creation timestamp, finished timestamp, and the status of the upload.

note

The Backup Upload Sessions pane has a display limit of 100 items and a time limit of the last 30 days. There may be upload sessions outside these limits.

To view a backup upload sessions for a cloud storage account

  1. In the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console, expand the Storage node.

  2. Select the Cloud Storage node in the console tree.

  3. Select the registered cloud storage in the Cloud Storage pane. The backup upload sessions for the selected cloud storage will be displayed in the bottom pane Backup Upload Session. The backup path, upload to path, created timestamp, finished timestamp and current status will be displayed.

  4. To filter the upload sessions for the cloud storage, you can select the toggle buttons at the top right corner of the pane.

    • Select Total (7 days) to view all upload sessions in the last 7 days.

    • Select Queued to view all upload sessions that are waiting in the queue to be processed.

Secure Storage Server

Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) provides the ability to set up a dedicated secure backup storage server. If you use a Secure Storage server in your environment it helps prevent unauthorized modification or malware attacks on backup data, supporting your key data security and compliance initiatives. For more information on how a Secure Storage server is secured, see Hardening Secure Storage servers below.

IMPORTANT

Use of Secure Storage Server requires a Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition license.

Requirements

  • Operating system: Microsoft Windows® 2016 or higher

  • A stand-alone server to be used as your Secure Storage server. This server should be a workgroup server and not joined to an Active Directory domain.

  • An account that will be used to deploy the Storage Agent on the Secure Storage server. This account must also be a local Administrator on the Secure Storage server.

  • Physical access to the Secure Storage server. Once the server is hardened access with regular methods will be disabled.

  • Sufficient storage space on the Secure Storage server for all backup files. For one backup file, the space required is at least the size of the backed-up Active

Directory database file (Ntds.dit) and the SYSVOL folder plus 40 MB for the transaction log files. The space check performed also includes an extra 1 GB to ensure enough space is available.

Best Practices

  • We highly recommend using a new, dedicated, clean physical server as your Secure Storage server to help ensure access methods are kept to a minimum.

  • Secure additional methods of accessing the Secure Storage server such as console or serial access.

  • Recommend the Secure Storage have additional volumes available in addition to the system drive. It is not advised to store backups on the system drive.

note

Virtual machines are more susceptible to ransomware attacks and if a virtual machine is used for your Secure Storage server, a bad actor could gain access to backups on the server or delete the entire Secure Storage server.

User Scenario

Backup data for all domain controllers can be accumulated on primary storage, and at the same time, you can make a copy of your backup data on a Secure Storage server. The Secure Storage agent will pull the backup securely to the Secure Storage server while the firewall on the Secure Storage server remains in place. If disaster strikes, you could lose your backups on primary storage and even your installation of RMAD but your Secure Storage server will remain in place.
