Commvault, a leading provider of data protection and cyber resiliency solutions, introduced an expansion of its cloud platform. The new Backup & Recovery for Active Directory Enterprise Edition solution automates forest recovery for the world’s most widely used enterprise identity and access solution, Microsoft Active Directory.

Active Directory is a critical element of enterprise IT systems. It manages authentication for more than 610 million users worldwide and controls access to critical business systems, protecting everything from workstation logins to physical building access. If Active Directory goes offline, business operations can come to a halt. Bad actors know this all too well, which is why they make Active Directory a primary target in up to 9 out of 10 cyberattacks.

When disaster strikes, recovering Active Directory is vital, yet traditionally has been very hard to do, requiring intricate, time-consuming, manual processes, as described by Microsoft’s Forest Recovery Guide.

Commvault is changing this with Backup & Recovery for Active Directory Enterprise Edition. It brings a new level of resilience to Active Directory by enabling automated, rapid recovery of the Active Directory forest. This new offering eliminates slow and error-prone manual processes often associated with Active Directory forest recoveries.

With Backup & Recovery for Active Directory Enterprise Edition, enterprises will be able to:

Make Active Directory recovery a snap via automated runbooks. Automated forest recovery runbooks streamline the multi-step process required for Active Directory forest recovery, including tasks like transferring key roles from an unavailable domain controller to a functioning one, which is essential for a clean recovery. These runbooks can also be used for regular testing in non-production environments to enhance cyber readiness.
Enable fast recovery of the most important Active Directory infrastructure. Visual topology views of an organization’s Active Directory environment enable simple and rapid identification of which domain controllers to restore first and how they should be recovered to accelerate availability of Active Directory services.
Accelerate recovery times and advance resilience. Manually recovering an Active Directory forest can take days or even weeks to complete, but with Commvault, organizations can recover it in a fraction of the time. Commvault’s Cloud platform integrates Active Directory forest recovery with granular recovery of both Active Directory and Entra ID, the cloud-based identity service, providing comprehensive protection.

Commvault solutions help organizations quickly restore their critical infrastructure, keeping their business up and running, while making complex recovery simple.
