Processing Options

Use this page to specify whether to process the objects' child objects and how to process object attributes.

  • Child objects processing. In this area, you can use the following elements:

    • Process no child objects. Processes only the selected objects.

    • Process all child objects. Processes the selected objects and all their child objects.

    • Process child objects of selected types. Processes the selected objects and their child objects of the types you specify using the Select Object Types button.

    • Select Object Types. Allows you to select the child object types to be processed. For more information, see Select Object Types.

  • Attribute-level processing. In this area, you can use the following elements:

    • Process all attributes. Processes all object attributes. When performing a restore with this option, the wizard only restores the attributes that were modified since the backup time. The wizard does not affect other attributes.

    • Process selected attributes. Processes selected object attributes. Use the Select Attributes button to specify the attributes to be processed. You can process selected attributes only if child objects are not selected for processing.

    • Select Attributes. Allows you to specify what object attributes the wizard will process. From more information, see Select Attributes to Be Processed.

 

Select Object Types

The Select Object Types dialog box enables you to specify types of child objects you want the wizard to process.

  • Object types. Lists types of the child objects for the selected container. In the list, select the check boxes next to the object types you want the wizard to process. When finished, click OK.

  • Show all object types. When selected, causes the Object types list to display the advanced object types.

 

Select Attributes to Be Processed

The Select Attributes to Be Processed dialog box allows you to select attributes of the specified directory object. The Online Restore Wizard will process only the attributes you select in this dialog box.

  • Attributes. Lists attributes of the directory object you selected. In the list, select check boxes next to attribute names. When finished, click OK. The entries in the upper part of the Attributes list allow you to select groups of attributes. For example, when you select Address Information, all attributes relating to the user addresses are selected.

  • Show all possible attributes. When selected, causes the Attributes list to display all attributes of the selected object.

  • Clear all. Clears all check boxes in the Attributes list.

 

Additional Options

Use this page to specify whether or not you want to generate a comparison or restore report and what information you want to include in the report.

  • Generate report. When this check box is selected, the wizard generates a report based on the settings you have specified.

  • Report changed objects only. When this checkbox is selected, the comparison report includes information about only the objects that have been changed since the time of the backup, and the restore report includes information only about the objects that the wizard has modified or undeleted during the restore.

  • Report changed attributes only. When this checkbox is selected, the comparison report includes information about only the object attributes that have been changed since the time of the backup, and the restore report includes information only about the object attributes the wizard has modified during the restore.

  • Include Change Auditor "Who" data in reports. When this checkbox is selected, the comparison report includes the information on users who modified certain Active Directory® objects. To use this option, you must have Change Auditor for Active Directory installed in the home Active Directory® forest of Recovery Manager for Active Directory.

  • Include subsequent changes from CA on deleted objects. When this option is selected, RMAD restores deleted object(s) and continuously restores the last change (if any) that was made to the object attributes after creating the backup, using data from the Change Auditor database.

  • Database. Allows you to specify the name of Change Auditor database.

    To specify the CA database server, instance, port, and name, use the following format: <Server Name>\<Instance Name>,<Port>\<Database Name>. Example: testserver.domain.com\testinstance,1432\ChangeAuditorDB

For details about the Change Auditor-related options, see Integration with Change Auditor for Active Directory.
