Backup AD Objects From Specific OUs

You can use RecoveryManager Plus to back up just the AD objects from specific OUs by following the steps listed below.

• Log in to RecoveryManager Plus as an administrator.
• Navigate to Active Directory tab > Settings > Backup Settings.
• Click the icon located in the Action column of the domain which contains the OU to be backed up.
• In the Select OUs to be backed up field, click the icon. In the pop-up that appears, select the OUs whose contents you wish to back up.
Note: To backup just the contents of the parent OU and not the contents of the nested containers, select the Exclude child OU(s) options located in the lower-right corner.
• In the Select Object Types to Backup field, click the icon. In the pop-up that appears, select the objects and attributes that you wish to backup.
Note: All custom attributes created by you will be displayed and you can easily add them to be backed up. If any custom attribute is missing, search for the particular attribute by clicking the Add Attributes link and providing the LDAP name of the attribute.
• Select the frequency at which full backups must be taken from the list of options available: weekly, or monthly.
• Select the frequency at which the incremental backups must be taken from the list of options available: hourly, daily, or weekly.
• Select the repository in which you wish to store the backups from the drop-down box.
• Enter the number of full backups to be held in your repository at all times in the Number of Full backups to be retained field.
Note: When the number of full backups in your repository exceeds the retention limit, the oldest full backup and its subsequent incremental backups will be discarded. To disable backup retention, set the retention period as '0' or leave it empty.
• Click Save.

RecoveryManager Plus will now backup all the object types that you want to back up in the selected OUs at the time you have chosen.
