NOTE |
If you have already created computer collections, and have unpacked backups, skip this step. |
In this step, you need to configure the Recovery Manager for Active Directory instances for working with the Recovery Manager Portal.
In each Active Directory domain, choose one domain controller whose backups the Recovery Manager Portal will use for recovery operations.
In the appropriate instance of Recovery Manager for Active Directory, create a separate Computer Collection for each domain controller you have chosen.
Add the domain controllers to their individual Computer Collections.
Configure backup settings for these Computer Collections:
Specify to unpack backups. For instructions, see Configuring Computer Collection-specific settings to unpack backups.
This is required because the Recovery Manager Portal can only restore data from unpacked backups.
Configure a retention policy for the unpacked backups. For instructions, see Unpacked Backups tab in Properties for an existing Computer Collection.
The number of retained unpacked backups determines the number of available backup states to which you can restore Active Directory objects in the Recovery Manager Portal.
In the Recovery Manager Portal, add the Recovery Manager for Active Directory instances you have configured in the previous step. By adding the instances, you make the unpacked backups they create available in the Recovery Manager Portal.
Connect to the Recovery Manager Portal with your Web browser.
Use the user account under which you installed the Recovery Manager Portal. By default, this account has all necessary permissions to modify the portal configuration.
In the Recovery Manager Portal, open the Configuration tab.
Expand Recovery Manager for Active Directory Instances.
Click the Add instance button.
Use the following options in the dialog box that opens:
Computer. Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the computer that hosts the Recovery Manager for Active Directory instance.
Access the computer using. Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access the specified computer. The account must be a local administrator on the target computer.
When finished, click OK.
In the Recovery Manager Portal, open the Configuration tab.
Expand Active Directory Domains.
Click a domain, and then do the following in the dialog box that opens:
Recovery Manager for Active Directory. Select the instance you have configured to back up a domain controller in the selected domain.
Backups of selected DC. Select the domain controller you have added to the Computer Collection in Step 2: Configure Recovery Manager for Active Directory.
Access the domain using. Specify the account under which you want the selected Recovery Manager for Active Directory instance to recover data in the domain.
NOTE |
If you leave the User name and Password text boxes blank, the account specified in Step 3: Add Recovery Manager for Active Directory instances is used by default. If a collection contains domain controllers from other domains or forests, Recovery Manager Portal should be able to read Active Directory schema for all domains included in the collection. For that, you need to specify the access credentials for these domains. |
