# Active Directory Restores

You can restore the Active Directory database that is protected by an agent-based application backup. After restoring the database, you can use offline mining to recover specific objects.

Note

Offline mining is only supported from the CommCell Console.

## Restoring the Active Directory Database

To restore the Active Directory database, follow the steps in Performing File System Restores. Perform an out-of-place restore operation and include the following options:

- Locate the server with the same name as the VM that runs the Active Directory domain controller.

- In the Agents area, click File System.

- Under Backup sets, in the row for VSA_APP_AWARE_AD_BackupSet, select the default subclient, and then click Restore.

- On the Backup content page, select the NTDS component as the item to recover.
