Active Directory granular backups and recovery

Administrators can use NetBackup to restore individual objects and attributes in the Active Directory instead of restoring the entire Active Directory. Administrators can also restore deleted objects (tombstone objects) from the Active Directory.

The following topics describe how to configure a policy to perform recovery of an Active Directory object:

  • System requirements necessary to perform Active Directory granular backups and restores.

  • How to configure a policy for an Active Directory backup that allows granular restores.

  • How to restore individual objects and attributes in the Active Directory.
