Why should you backup GPOs?

Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are an essential component of any Active Directory (AD) setup. They allow you to centrally manage and configure operating systems, applications, user settings, and specific policies at different levels of the organization. GPOs also enable you to enforce security policies, such as password rules and software restrictions, ensuring that security measures are applied uniformly across all users and computers.

Given the role of GPOs in managing and securing an AD environment, it is imperative to back them up and protect them from any potential damage. ADManager Plus, an IGA solution with capabilities such as risk assessment, access certification, GPO management, and more helps you securely manage and govern identities in an organization. As an AD backup and recovery tool, ADManager Plus allows you to automatically backup the GPOs in your organization and recover them when required.

GPO backup and recovery using ADManager Plus

ADManager Plus offers two different backups—full and incremental. Full backups allow you to back up all the GPOs and their configurations entirely, while incremental backups store only the changes made to the GPOs to be backed up since the last full backup. By leveraging this capability, you'll save space and ensure faster GPO backups. When it comes to restoration, ADManager Plus allows the granular recovery of GPOs and their settings, helping your organization avoid potential data loss.

Highlights of using ADManager Plus to back up and recover Group Policies

ADManager Plus allows you to protect your AD from intentional and accidental data loss with its backup and recovery capabilities. Here are a few highlights:

  • Automated Group Policy backup

    Schedule and periodically back up GPOs and their configurations without manual intervention.

  • Incremental GPO backup
