, and then select Configure recovery option.The Configure recovery option dialog box appears.

For Recovery option, select a recovery option:
To recover a previous copy of the AD database, at least one domain controller must be restored from backup in each AD domain. If you want more of the AD infrastructure to be available sooner, you can restore multiple domain controllers from backup.
-
Recover AD to clean VM database only: Provision a new VM using a clean image provided by Commvault Cloud or one that you supply. Once the VM is provisioned and promoted to a domain controller, only the AD database is restored—eliminating the risk of recovering malware-infected files.
Note
This option is supported only for recovery to Azure and VMWare vCenter targets.
-
Recover to new VM full System State: Use VirtualizeMe technology with a full System State backup of the source domain controller to create a new VM that replicates the original DC as it was at the time of backup. The new VM can be created on Azure, Hyper-V, or VMware vCenter.
-
Promote server to domain controller: With at least one domain controller in each AD domain restored from backup, you can complete the AD infrastructure by promoting additional domain controllers from standard Windows Servers.
This option requires a Windows Server that does not have the Active Directory Domain Services AD DS role installed. The promoted domain controller will be writable, regardless of whether the source DC was writable or read-only.
