How to backup Active Directory Four tips to help you

  
If the system's hardware or storage media fails, the "Backup" tool can help protect your data from accidental loss. Without backup, you can recover lost or damaged files. Every important file in the network, including backup protection for Active Directory domain controllers. Today Xiaobian explains the four tips for Active Directory backup.
Remote Logs
Real-time offsite backups transfer files in increments (changed elements) instead of the entire change. The main system is severely damaged, which is a very reliable way to recover the AD network.
Server Mirroring
A real-time backup, you can build identical data backup hardware. A hardware device that passes through a RAID1 system or a full mirror server. Real-time backups are usually local. A backup device that can fail over quickly when the mirrored primary system is damaged.
Electronic Link
The backup method is to periodically change the file to a different location. Also known as batch processing. Offsite backup is not the real time, the serious damage is received in the main system, which is a more appropriate method for you to recover the AD network.
Database Image
The combination of server image and remote log can create a variety of local and remote backups. This real-time backup can be local or in a different location. This method is the most expensive, but it is affected by the domain controller and it is the best choice for recovering AD.
Regardless of the method chosen, you must ensure that the backup media, including tapes, CDs and hard drives, is sufficient for current and short-term needs. Increase the size of the weekly AD database, so you should take precautions and make full use of the storage space of the backup media. The primary data resource is backed up with the cable of the media while ensuring adequate support for the transfer of backup data. Real-time backup requires sufficient bandwidth to ensure engineering feasibility and 100% uptime, thus changing information transfer instantaneously. Backups sometimes interfere with the capacity of the network. This requires the deployment of a second network with some features, especially with a high level of AD in the surrounding working clock interaction network.
If you choose a backup method there is enough ability to recover data files and Active Directory databases. A few more know how to choose the software backup method and use the hardware, you can think about it.
