Specialized Data Recovery solution for your LDAP recovery
DS Guardian
Today, directories are critical components used to manage identities and information on an unprecedented scale. Any unintentional change to the directory, whether caused by object deletion, a faulty script or faulty hardware, could bring the entire system to an unceremonious and grinding halt.
In terms of your data recovery plan, DSGuardian is a necessary and invaluable tool in your arsenal. It provides immediate online restoration that minimizes downtime. Any object or attribute can be recovered in just a few minutes with only a few mouse clicks. In critical cases, the entire directory can be recovered, right down to the schema. The DSGuardian interface is easy to use and backups can be automated. Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP are also supported in addition to Novell eDirectory.
Recover as much as the entire tree or as little as a single object or attribute
Flexible Recovery Options
DSGuardian provides maximum flexibility and granular control during the ecovery process, thereby allowing administrators to recover exactly what they need – whether it’s the entire tree, a certain portion of the directory, individual objects or, even, individual attributes. Critically, this granular control minimizes the overall impact since any individual attribute can be recovered without affecting other attributes or disrupting the daily operation of the system.
