On this tab, you can specify some global (or default) settings to automatically unpack backups. By default, these settings will apply to all new Computer Collections.
This tab provides the following options:
Unpack each backup upon its creation. Specifies to unpack each backup upon its creation. This option will only apply to those Computer Collections whose properties are configured to use the global settings. In this option, you can specify the number of recent backup creation sessions from which you want to keep unpacked backups for each domain in the Computer Collections.
Prompt me to keep backups unpacked by wizards. Specifies that the Online Restore Wizard and the Group Policy Restore Wizard will prompt you to keep unpacked backups. Use the Keep unpacked backups list to specify for how long you want RMAD to keep the backups unpacked by the wizards.
Unpacked backups folder. Provides a space for you to specify the path to the folder where you want RMAD to keep unpacked backups. Each unpacked backup will be saved in a separate subfolder. Type the folder path or click Browse to locate and select the folder.
Only one DC backup per domain is chosen for unpacking for each backup session.
Not Read-Only DCs are selected first.
-OR-
If there are no Not Read-Only DCs in the domain, all the DCs are supposed to be selected.
If several DCs are selected on the Step 2, DC with the Global Catalog role will be selected among them. If there are several DCs with the GC role, it is unpredictable which backup will be selected then.
The chosen backup (one per domain) is unpacked.
If there is limit for unpacked backups and it is exceeded, the specified number of the oldest backups are deleted. If individual settings are specified for a collection, backups for that particular collection are taken into account, otherwise backups of all collections that use the global settings are taken into account when comparing against the specified limit.
For more information on managing unpacked backups, see Unpacking backups.
On this tab, you can configure diagnostic logging to write detailed information about the activity of RMAD to log files.
This tab provides the following options:
Diagnostic logging can be resource intensive, affecting overall server performance and consuming disk space. Therefore, it should only be used temporarily when more detailed information is needed to isolate and resolve possible problems or to monitor the activity of RMAD on your server.
Log files location. Specifies the location where to create the log files. The default location is C:\ProgramData\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory\Logs.
Create a new set of log files. Use this list to define how often to create a new set of log files. Each new set of log files is placed in a separate subfolder in the log files location.
On this tab, you can specify TCP ports that will be used by Recovery Manager Console to communicate with Backup Agent, Restore Agents and Management Agent.
This tab provides the following options:
Connect to Backup Agent using a specific TCP port. Allows you to specify the TCP port number that will be used to connect to Backup Agent installed on a target domain controller. If the option is not selected, the default port 3843 is used.
Connect to Online Restore Agent using a specific TCP port. Allows you to specify the TCP port number that will be used to connect to Online Restore Agent installed on a target domain controller. If the option is not selected, RPC dynamic port range is used by default.
Connect to Offline Restore Agent using a specific TCP port. Allows you to specify the TCP port number that will be used to connect to Offline Restore Agent installed on a target domain controller. If the option is not selected, RPC dynamic port range is used by default.
Automatically configure Windows Firewall If this option is selected, Windows Firewall settings will be configured automatically for Offline Restore Agent.
Connect to Management Agent using a specific TCP port. Allows you to specify the TCP port number that will be used to connect to Management Agent installed on a target domain controller. If the option is not selected, RPC dynamic port range is used by default..
Automatically configure Windows Firewall If this option is selected, Windows Firewall settings will be configured automatically for the operations performed by Management Agent. Management Agent is used to deploy Backup Agent, Offline Restore Agent and Forest Recovery Agent.
The default properties for Computer Collections are applied to newly created Computer Collections. Default properties are overridden by Computer Collection properties when Recovery Manager for Active Directory performs backup operations on a Computer Collection.
The default properties are used to specify where to store backups, what to back up, and how many backups to keep for each computer that belongs to a Computer Collection. The default properties include options used for performance tuning, such as bandwidth throttling, CPU usage throttling, parallel backup tuning, and data compression. The default properties also include advanced backup options, such as accessing target computers with a special account, autocorrecting registry quota, and storing a copy of each backup in an additional location. In addition, the default properties include the logging settings that are used by default.
The fields you can use in the dialog box that opens are similar to those in the properties dialog box for an existing Computer Collection. For more information, see Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
