Scheduled Backup

UMove can back up Active Directory on a daily or weekly schedule. The backup task is created under the Task Scheduler, which is a standard Windows service. The backup task will periodically run UMove for you to create snapshots of Active Directory.

The backup task will write each snapshot of Active Directory to a .BKF file. AD service is not interrupted. The .BKF file will contain the minimal data files required to restore, recover, or rescue Active Directory. UMove does not back up the entire operating system (the System State). It backs up only the minimal files needed to restore, recover, or rescue AD. This keeps the size of the file small, making daily backups practical.

The backup task runs quickly (under 5 minutes is typical) and does not interrupt AD service.

Interview
