Recover the Active Directory from disaster-recovery data

About this task

After you have configured the client to boot into Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM), recover the Active Directory from disaster-recovery data.

Steps

  1. Open PowerProtect Data Manager.
  2. On the Restore tab, in the list of clients, select the client that you want to recover.
  3. In the drop-down list for the host, select Disaster Recovery.
  4. Click View Copies to view the backed-up copies.
  5. Click to display the copies.
  6. Select the desired backup copy and click System State Restore.
  7. After the copies are mounted, select the Windows NT Directory Services (NTDS) writer in the Disaster Recovery folder, and then click Next.
  8. Click Finish to start the system-state recovery (SSR).
  9. Wait for the Active Directory recovery to complete.
  10. Restart the client after the recovery completes.
    NOTE:While performing SSR restore of all writers, if an NTDS writer is a part of the backup, restore the NTDS writer alone in the Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM), restart the system in normal mode and then restore other remaining writers excluding NTDS writer.
