You'll also learn how to configure your backup jobs the right way.

Do you want a guarantee from Veeam that your Active Directory backups will restore? No problem! In this episode, you'll get expert guidelines on using Veeam's SureBackup® functionality for backup and recovery verification. See how it works, how to easily create a virtual lab in your infrastructure without additional resources and how you can automatically verify the recoverability of every Active Directory backup, every time.

Backup is nothing without recovery. This webinar is a deep dive on the specifics of recovery options for Active Directory. You'll learn how to recover Active Directory items with Veeam Explorer™, restore a Domain Controller, perform whole‑directory and attribute‑level restores and much more!
