WOW thanks alot it works perfectly.

Hi,

There is two types of Active Directory backups

1- Active Directory or ADAM Full Backup

2- Active Directory or ADAM Granular Backup

Your configuration is for ADAM full backup and not the Granular one , you need to specify domain objects in Saveset field with the following format:

CN= ,OU= ,DC= ,DC=suffix

For example:

CN=testuser1,OU=OU1,DC=corp,DC=xyz,DC=com

Where the backup saves the entire domain named corp.xyz.com from its root level.

Type the following command in the Backup Command  attribute:

nsradsave.exe

And no Application Information attributes are needed.

For more information for the steps required please check the NMM Application guide from page 45, The guide can be downloaded from the following link:

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

Ahmed Bahaa

Also in this case doesn't matter, because it's a granular backup and it's not using snapshot, but for any other NMM backup, please set the group setting "client retries" to "0", to avoid any issue with VSS.

Thank you.

Ok my new save set is ,

SYSTEM COMPONENTS:\

CN=Administrator,OU=EE,DC=cozum,DC=local

Using nsradsave.exe command now i am getting

73064:nsradsave:Version information for C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\bin\nsradsave.exe:

          Original file name: nsradsave.exe

          Version: 2.3.0.87

          Comments: NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications (x64)

Could not obtain root entries

Backup of 1 objects succeeded.

Hi there,

You have condigured snapshot based backups, which is not granular backup, and it's not valid to perform granular restores either.

You need to check the documentation and configure the client in a NON SNAPSHOT group with the backup command nsradsave instead f nsrsnap_vss_save

The saveset also changes to DC=domain,DC=com for example

And there is no need to set any Application information.

The backup you configured is for disaster recovery of AD.

Thank you.

Carlos.

Will this work on Windows 2003 server as well or just 2008?

Finally found the solution. Thanks Ahmad Bahaa.
