Active Directory, a Microsoft-developed service, has been a crucial network management component for over 20 years. Its role in controlling user access to essential applications and resources has made it a prime target for cyber attacks. With the increasing use of cloud computing, Active Directory has only become more prevalent in modern business environments. Therefore, it is essential to protect both Active Directory and related systems, such as Entra ID, from potential disasters. This is where Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory comes in.

How does Active Directory Backup help with lost or corrupted data?

Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory is a simple and effective solution for protecting your Active Directory from data loss and security threats. With a seamless Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, there is no need for complex deployment processes or managing backup infrastructure. Additionally, the solution offers automatic updates, ensuring that your Active Directory is always protected with the latest features and security measures.

One of the most critical aspects of Active Directory protection is the ability to restore lost or corrupted data quickly. When important data within Active Directory is deleted, changed, or corrupted, it can result in significant downtime and business disruption. Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory allows for quickly restoring vital data, minimizing the impact on your business operations.

In the event of a disaster, it can be challenging to determine the root cause of the issue and its extent. Is there a problem with Entra ID, or is it within the on-premises Active Directory data? With Commvault Cloud, Active Directory and Entra ID can be protected from a single solution, providing a comprehensive view of your entire directory infrastructure.

How does Active Directory Backup work in Commvault Cloud’s environment?

It is crucial to have a complete understanding of all recent changes within Active Directory to make informed decisions about which objects need to be restored. Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory offers the ability to compare changes made at different points in time or compare and backup live Active Directory data to ensure accuracy. The solution also provides easy-to-read comparison reports, allowing for a detailed review of recent changes and the ability to discover any discrepancies.

In addition to comparison reports, Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory offers a search function to locate specific objects or locations within the directory quickly. With attribute filters, you can narrow your search results to specific objects, such as group policy objects, making the recovery process even more efficient.

Moreover, these comparison reports are not just static documents. They are interactive, allowing for the direct restoration of objects from the report. This feature accelerates the recovery process and minimizes downtime and disruptions for users.

Sometimes, disasters may not result in the deletion of objects but rather the overwriting of attribute data across multiple objects. For example, a poorly written PowerShell script could cause unexpected changes throughout the directory. In such cases, Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory offers an attribute-focused presentation of changes, making it easier to locate and roll back specific attributes across multiple objects within Active Directory.

What does Commvault Cloud Backup for Active Directory protect?

Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory protects all critical objects within Active Directory, including users, groups, organizational units (OUs), configurations, group policies, and associated settings and links. The solution also offers the ability to verify and recover important Entra ID data, such as users, application registrations, and conditional access policies, in case of accidental changes or malicious attacks.

In summary, Commvault Cloud® Backup and Recovery for Active Directory offers complete visibility into all Active Directory and Entra ID changes. With this solution, you can quickly recover from any disaster for the continuity of your business operations.
