I believe that TSM for VMWare is Active Directory aware and creates consistent snaps of virtualized DCs.
I've handed our AD guys VM backups of their DCs for a couple years now and they seem to be able to recover without much issue but I'm not an expert in AD or what their procedure is. __________________________ Matthew McGeary Senior Technical Specialist - Infrastructure Management Services PotashCorp T: (306) 933-8921 www.potashcorp.com -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul_Dudley Sent: Monday, November 07, 2016 10:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] Backing up Active Directory server using TSM client Is there any point in backing up an Active Directory server using the TSM client? Would a restore of Active Directory work? I have read conflicting views on this - some say it would not work yet others say it has worked for them, while others say that they use another tool to backup Active Directory and then use TSM to backup those backup files.
