You can use the drop-down list to filter objects in the Objects list. You can also select and deselect all objects by clicking the Select All and Clear All buttons.

To view values of the object attributes
  • Select an object from the Objects list, and then click Properties.

The wizard displays the Properties dialog box. The Attributes box inside the Properties dialog box lists attributes of the selected object and displays the values each attribute has in the backup and in Active Directory. The elements of the Properties dialog box are defined as follows:

  • Show changed attributes only. When selected, the Attributes list displays only the attributes that have been changed since the time the backup was created.

  • Show all possible attributes. When selected, the Attributes list displays all attributes of the selected object.

  • Include attributes with empty values. When selected, the Attributes list displays the attributes that have empty values.

In the Attributes list, each entry includes the following fields:

  • Attribute. Displays the LDAP display name of an attribute.

  • Value in Backup. Displays the value the attribute has in the backup.

  • Value in Active Directory. Displays the value the attribute has in Active Directory, if the object exists in Active Directory.

 

Where to Restore Deleted Objects

Use this page to specify a container where to restore the objects selected on the previous page of the wizard.

  • Restore deleted objects to their original containers (default). With this option, the wizard restores the selected objects to their original container.

  • Specify a destination container for restoration of deleted objects. This option allows you specify the destination container for restoration of the deleted objects. Select that container with the Browse button. If you select the Show advanced objects option in the Browse and Select a Container dialog, the objects can be restored to the containers that reside in the Configuration and Schema directory partitions.

 

Operation Results

Use this page to view or save the restore report. Click View Report to view comparison reports. The report is viewed and managed with Quest Reports Viewer or with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. The application used for generating, managing and viewing the reports was specified while installing RMAD.

 

Completing the Online Restore Wizard

This is the final page of the wizard. Click Back to select and compare/restore additional objects or click Finish to close the Online Restore Wizard. After you select a backup on the Backup Selection page, the wizard prepares temporary data, unpacking the backup. This is a lengthy operation. The prepared data is erased when you close the wizard, unless you have selected the Keep extracted data after completing the wizard check box on the Backup Data Preparation page.
