Quest® Recovery Manager for Active Directory™ offers an easy-to-use solution for fast, granular, online recovery of Active Directory (AD) in the event of inadvertent modification of AD due to software failure or human error.

Recovery Manager helps to minimize downtime caused by corruption or improper modification of directory, configuration and Group Policy data, assisting you in meeting your critical service level agreement requirements and helping you to comply with external regulations.

Recovery Manager provides centralized, simplified and automated backup, with remote, online and granular restore capabilities—even at the attribute level. Comparison reports highlight what objects and attributes have been changed and deleted in Active Directory and Group Policy, which enables efficient, focused recovery.

Key Benefits

• Integration with Native Tools—NEW! - Recovery Manager seamlessly integrates with Active Directory administration tools enabling users to work with a familiar interface. Comprehensive integration includes AD Users & Computers, AD Sites & Services, and AD Domains & Trusts.
• Comprehensive Recovery Option—Recovery Manager provides intuitive, wizard-based procedures for recovering Active Directory (AD). To achieve near-zero downtime when restoring data, Quest Recovery Manager offers a feature unique in the market: online, granular restore of any object in AD, including users, groups, computers, OUs, Group Policy Objects (GPOs), sites, subnets, configuration and Exchange storage groups All restore operations can be performed from one central location without requiring the administrator to go to the DC.
• Use Third Party Active Directory Backups—Recovery Manager supports mounting an unpacked copy of the AD database, which can be extracted from most third party backup vendors or captured by Microsoft Virtual Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
• Comparison Reporting—Recovery Manager lets you know what has changed in AD through quick snapshot comparisons of backups with the live AD, and granular comparison of directory objects at the attribute level. Recovery Manager enables the creation of a comparison report without actually applying changes to AD.
• Backup and Restore of AD LDS—Just as Recovery Manager supports the online restore of AD objects, it also supports the online restore of Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) objects.
• Support for x64 Based Systems—To meet the needs of the growing number of organizations deploying 64-bit Windows operating systems, Recovery Manager allows administrators running 64-bit DCs to backup and recover their AD environment with Recovery Manager for Active Directory.
• Scheduling Capabilities—Recovery Manager enables administrators to schedule the creation of backups during off-peak hours. This helps reduce the network load and can save many hours of an administrator's valuable time.
• Scalability and Performance—Recovery Manager offers scalability and support for large, multi-domain environments. Depending on the location of DCs or other criteria established by an administrator, DCs can be logically grouped into easy-to-manage Computer Collections.
