The Active Directory application is a solution that provides granular backup and restore of individual Active Directory objects and their attributes. The Active Directory application along with the Windows File Agent provides complete data protection for a domain controller and objects in a domain, that includes the LDS/ADAM objects and attributes.
To get started quickly, you can perform simple configuration of Active Directory servers in a few minutes, then run backups immediately. You can initiate backups and restores, get information about data protection, and manage jobs, schedules, alerts, events, and users.
If the Active Directory application is not displayed when you open the Command Center, select Solutions > Apps > Active Directory from the navigation pane. This option is only available after you have completed the setup for Active Directory application.
