Using recovery pauses

A recovery pause allows you to suspend the recovery of one or more domain controllers right before they enter a certain recovery stage. You can then resume the recovery of the domain controllers from the point at which it was paused.

For example, recovery pauses let you temporarily suspend the recovery of particular domain controllers in order you could perform a manual action outside of Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition.

In your recovery project, you can use recovery pauses of the following types:

• Manual pauses. Allow you to pause the recovery of a domain controller at any recovery step you want. A manual recovery pause only applies to one domain controller. For more information, see Managing manual pauses on page 154.
• Automatic pauses. Allow you to pause the recovery of one or more domain controllers of your choice at the recovery stage you want. Once you configure and save an automatic pause, you can reuse or reconfigure it according to your needs. An automatic pause is only applicable to certain recovery stages. For more information, see Managing automatic pauses on page 154.
