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 the storage targets 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 After you perform all writer restore (including registry writer) in the Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM), restart the system in normal mode and perform only registry writer restore to get the user hives (collection of files) restored.
