Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition Likes & Dislikes

Like

flexable but also can do complete restore of DC to isolation

Like

quality repeatable process process improvment

Like

The ability to customize backup location and granular access to each backup. The built-in integration with Azure and the ease of setting up cloud storage as a secondary backup location. The ability to restore domain controllers from the ground up simply by building a new VM with 1:1 resource options as the failed one(s).

Dislike

the amount of space backups take.

Dislike

cost

Dislike

We're not a fan of the Forest Recovery Console and RMAD recovery console being 2 separate products within the deployment. We'd like to be able to use both from the same pane of glass. RMAD is not very clear on formatting when it comes to large backup operations that require an import from a CSV or TXT file. This could easily be remedied by stating what format the object needed to be listed in within the doc itself. We wish that there were more options to add separate backup retention times on each secondary or tertiary backup location. Instead we're forced to make individual collections for local DC backups and then a separate collection for the external backups with a different retention timeframe for each.

    RMAD. The AD Admin's Security Blanket.

    5.0
    Jun 8, 2022
    RMAD has been nothing shy of a dream to work with since its deployment. The initial setup takes time and plenty of attention to detail, but it's fully automated after that point. The driving factor behind purchasing it was its proven ability to restore an active directory environment from something as catastrophic as a ransomware attack.
