On this tab, you can configure e-mail notification settings. Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) will use these settings to send notification e-mails about backup creation sessions.
This tab provides the following options:
SMTP server. Provides a space for you to specify the SMTP server for outgoing messages.
SMTP port. Provides a space for you to specify the port number (default port for SMTP is 25) to connect to on your outgoing mail (SMTP) server.
“From” address. Provides a space for you to specify the return address for your e-mail notification messages. It is recommended that you specify the e-mail address of the RMAD administrator.
SMTP server requires authentication. When selected, specifies that you must log on to your outgoing mail server.
User. Provides a space for you to specify the account name used to log on to the SMTP server.
Password. Provides a space for you to specify the user password.
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt the connection. Allows you to use SSL when accessing the e-mail server.
Test Settings. Sends a test notification message to the address set in the “From” address text box. Use this button to verify that the specified e-mail notification settings are valid.
For more information, see Using e-mail notification.
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 (default 3) 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 (default 7 days) the backups unpacked by the wizards.
Unpacked backups folder. Provides a space for you to specify the path to the folder (default C:\ProgramData\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory\Unpacked) 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:
| Caution |
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 (default Daily) 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:
Backup Agent
Online Restore Agent
Automatically configure Windows Firewall If this option is selected, Windows Firewall settings will be configured automatically for the operations performed by Online Restore Agent.
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.
Offline Restore Agent
Automatically configure Windows Firewall If this option is selected, Windows Firewall settings will be configured automatically for the operations performed by Offline Restore Agent.
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.
Management Agent
Automatically configure Windows Firewall If this option is selected, Windows Firewall settings will be configured automatically for the operations performed by Management 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.
