General tab for AD LDS (ADAM) backups

The General tab enables you to filter the AD LDS (ADAM) backups displayed in the details pane of the Recovery Manager Console (snap-in).

  • Filter backups view. Select this check box to activate the backups filtering. You can filter backups based on backups sources or dates. Leave this check box cleared to have RMAD display all registered backups in the details pane.

  • Backup sources. This option allows you to filter backups based on backup sources. For example, you can have RMAD display only backups taken from the specified AD LDS (ADAM) instance.

  • Host. Provides a space for you to type the name of a computer. RMAD will display only backups taken from AD LDS (ADAM) instances hosted by that computer.

  • Instance. Provides a space for you to type the name of an AD LDS (ADAM) instance. RMAD will display only backups taken from that AD LDS (ADAM) instance.

  • Site. Provides a space for you to type the name of a site. RMAD will display only backups taken from AD LDS (ADAM) instances located in that site.

  • Backup dates. This option allows you to filter backups based on backup dates.

  • From. Select this check box to see backups that were taken starting with a specific date. To specify the date, use the list next to the check box.

  • To. Select this check box to see backups that were taken till a specific date. To specify the date, use the list next to the check box.

To filter backups

  1. Select the Filter backups view check box.

  2. Do the following:

  • To filter by backup sources, fill in the corresponding fields under Backup sources.

  • To filter by backup creation dates, specify the dates under Backups dates.

 

Integrity checks for Active Directory and AD LDS (ADAM) backups

To perform an integrity check

When a backup is created, a checksum is calculated for the backup file and saved in the backup file when the backup is registered. An integrity check recalculates the checksum and compares it to the checksum stored in the backup file.

NOTE: Regular BMR backups don't have checksum enabled by default. Only Secure Server BMR backups have checksum enabled by default.

The Checksum calculation is enabled by modifying the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory\Options\ChecksumCalculationMode

The various keys for enable/disable Checksum Calculation are:

ChecksumAllDisabled = 0
ChecksumBkfRegularStorage = 1
ChecksumBkfSecureStorage = 2
ChecksumBkfAlways = ChecksumBkfRegularStorage | ChecksumBkfSecureStorage
ChecksumBkfOnTheFly = 4
ChecksumBmrRegularStorage = 8
ChecksumBmrSecureStorage = 16
ChecksumBmrAlways = ChecksumBmrRegularStorage | ChecksumBmrSecureStorage
ChecksumDefault = ChecksumBkfAlways | ChecksumBkfOnTheFly | ChecksumBmrSecureStorage


  1. In the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console, click the Backups node then click the Active Directory, Bare Metal, or AD LDS (ADAM) node.

  2. Click a backup you want to check the integrity on.

  3. An automatic integrity check will be performed on the import.

  4. The following statuses can be displayed after the integrity check has finished:

    Status Description
    Passed The newly calculated checksum value matches the previously calculated checksum stored in the backups file.
    Unknown The integrity check was not performed.
    Running The integrity check is in progress.
    Failed The backup is not accessible (wrong credentials) or may have been moved from the path.
    No Checksum The previously calculated checksum could not be read. This could be due to the backup being created by a previous version of the product. The backup also may have been damaged in such a way that the checksum was also affected.
    Corrupted The newly calculated checksum value does not match the previously calculated checksum stored in the backup file.

  5. To manually perform an integrity check on any backup already in the Active Directory, Bare Metal, or AD LDS (ADAM) nodes:

  6. Click a backup you want to perform the integrity check on.

  7. Right click and select Check Integrity.

  8. One of the statuses above will be displayed after running the manual integrity check.


The following backup types are supported for integrity check after the backup registration:

Active Directory backups (.bkf)
AD LDS (ADAM) backups (.bkf)
Bare Metal backup (.vhd, .vhdx)

Offline Active Directory Database files (.dit) are ignored.


The registering of backups from New Recovery Project dialog in Forest Recovery Console, will automatically execute an integrity check when backups are registered using Register Active Directory Backup…, Register BMR Backup… and Register Backups in Folder… options.



The result of the integrity check is available in the Media Cataloging dialog box.



Registering backups from Select Backup dialog in Forest Recovery Console automatically execute an integrity check for both Active Directory Backup and BMR Backup selection.


The result of the integrity check is available in the Media Cataloging dialog box.



Automatic execution of backup integrity checks from the RMAD Console and Forest Recovery Console can be configured in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory\Options
IntegrityCheckOnBkfRegistration (REG_DWORD), can be 0 or 1 (default), allows to run integrity check for AD and ADAM (AD LDS) backups at registration.
IntegrityCheckOnBmrRegistration (REG_DWORD), can be 0 (default) or 1, allows to run integrity check for BMR backups at registration.

The registering of backups can be done via PowerShell� as a parameter has been added to the Add-RMADBackup cmdlet to allow an integrity check to be performed after the backup has been registered in the Active Directory database.

Add-RMADBackup -Path 'C:\MyBackups\2023-03-03 19-23-11.bkf' -CheckIntegrity

The result of the integrity check is available directly in the PowerShell Console or can be viewed in the RMAD Console:


NOTE: IntegrityCheckOnBkfRegistration and IntegrityCheckOnBmrRegistration registry settings do not affect the integrity check with Add-RMADBackup cmdlet.

 

Export List of Active Directory, Bare Metal, and AD LDS (ADAM) backups

To perform an Export

A list of the backups can be exported to a file for other processing or record keeping.

Exported lists can be saved in one of the following formats:

  • Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt)

  • Text (Comma delimited) (*.csv)

  • Unicode Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt)

  • Unicode Text (Comma delimited) (*.csv)

  1. In the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console, click the Backups node then click the Active Directory, Bare Metal, or AD LDS (ADAM) node.

  2. Right click and select Export List…

  3. In the Export List dialog, select a location to save the file, enter a file name, and click Save .

 

Properties of registered Active Directory and AD LDS (ADAM) backups

The Properties dialog box for a registered Active Directory, Bare Metal, or AD LDS (ADAM) backup provides detailed information about the backup, such as the backup creation date, backup size, and a list of the Active Directory® components the backup includes.

To display the Properties dialog box for the Active Directory, Bare Metal, or AD LDS (ADAM) backup

  1. In the console tree, expand the Backups node, and then select Active Directory, Bare Metal, or AD LDS (ADAM).

  2. In the details pane, select the desired backup, and then click Properties on the Action menu.
