Microsoft Active Directory

Backing up a domain controller

This operation is performed by using the backup disk command. See the examples in the "Disks and volumes" section under "Single-pass disk and application backup."

Recovering Microsoft Active Directory data

• Extracting Microsoft Active Directory data as files from the latest backup of an archive residing on a network share. The files will be saved to a local folder. Since the --overwrite parameter is not specified, the existing files will be overwritten.

  acrocmd recover ad_database --loc=\\srv1\backups --credentials=netuser1,pass1 --arc=machine1_app --target=E:\ad_db

• Extracting Microsoft Active Directory data as files from a backup stored in a vault on a storage node. The files will be saved to a network share. The existing files will not be overwritten. The original dates of the files will be preserved.

  acrocmd recover ad_database --loc=bsp://storage_node1/my_vault --credentials=bkpuser,pass --arc=my_archive_app --backup=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --target=\\share\active_dir\new --credentials=netuser2,pass2 --overwrite=never --original_date
