Recovery group and Microsoft Active Directory

You can use IBM Storage Defender to prioritize the data that is important to you. To prioritize the data for Microsoft Active Directory, you must assign an Active Directory Domain Controller resource type to a recovery group that is assigned to a governance profile.

Typically, you create a backup of Active Directory into IBM Storage Defender Data Protect that generates a new copy at every backup run. The connection manager gathers data that can be used in the recovery posture graph in the dashboard, available resources, and available copies. IBM Storage Defender Data Resiliency Service helps you to create a recovery group for Microsoft Active Directory resource type. You can search and select Microsoft Active Directory that belongs to data protect protection group to be added in the recovery group.
