ADFR is the only backup and recovery solution purpose-built for recovering Active Directory from cyber disasters. ADFR fully automates the AD forest recovery process, reduces downtime, eliminates risk of malware reinfection, and enables post-breach forensics.
ADFR validates each backup rule when it’s created to ensure it can be used to generate a valid forest backup set. By default, the ADFR backup validation process checks to ensure there is at least one DC hosting each partition in the backup set. The status of the backup rule validation process is displayed in the Backup Settings page of the ADFR Administration portal.
Data protection solutions do not offer a cyber disaster recovery solution for Active Directory. They offer backup and recovery of individual domain controllers (DCs) and files. This is an important distinction, and one that applies to other backup vendors as well. Backup vendors can back up a DC, and they can restore a DC. But none can orchestrate the many steps required to correctly and successfully restore an AD forest.
In contrast, ADFR offers a fully automated forest recovery solution that enables you to recover AD even if DCs are infected or wiped out. ADFR automates every aspect of forest recovery, including cleaning up metadata, rebuilding the Global Catalog, and restructuring site topology. Manually rebuilding AD following a cyber incident is a time-consuming, error-prone process that can takes days or weeks.
When a backup set completes with an error or warning, ADFR automatically sends an email notification to designated recipients. In addition, you can opt into receiving email notifications for successful backups. The ADFR Administration portal also displays backup status information: 1) Dashboard provides a list of recent forest backup sets, showing both available and failed backups. 2) Backups Status & History page displays status details for each backup, including backups that failed and transfers of the backup to the distribution point that failed.
