Active Directory continues to be as relevant today as it was 20 years ago and is a primary attack vector for adversaries. As a cornerstone of your network, Active Directory controls user access to business-critical applications and resources as businesses extend their directories to the cloud. With Intra-ID and Hybrid AD environment, it's only grown. So ensuring your Active Directory and Intra-ID estates are protected is critical. Introducing Commvault Cloud Backup and Recovery for Active Directory. You can seamlessly protect Active Directory from data loss and threats with a simple SaaS delivery, meaning no hassle deployment, no backup infrastructure to manage, and automatic updates. When vital data in Active Directory is deleted, changed, or corrupted, it's important to be able to restore it as quickly as possible to minimize downtime and business disruption. When disaster strikes, you're often unaware of the full scope of the problem that is impacting your users. Is the problem with Intra-ID or possibly on-premises Active Directory data? Commvault Cloud protects Active Directory and Intra-ID from a single solution. To make an informed decision on what objects need to be restored, it's necessary to have a complete view of all recent changes that have taken place in AD. Commvault Cloud allows you to easily compare portions of or the entirety of your AD domain. Comparison reports are created and stored so you can review and discover changes at any time. Compare the changes between two points in time or compare and choose to back up to your live Active Directory to confirm you're restoring from the appropriate backup. It's easy to search for specific objects of locations to find lost data. Attribute filters allow you to narrow results to specific objects, like group policy objects. Most importantly, comparisons are not just static reports, they're interactive. So you can restore objects directly from the report, accelerating your recovery and minimizing downtime and user disruption. Some disasters don't result in deleted objects. For instance, a poorly written PowerShell script could unexpectedly overwrite attribute data across hundreds of objects throughout your directory. The second view here gives an attribute-focused presentation to changes so you can quickly locate specific attributes and roll them back across as many objects in AD as necessary. Commvault Cloud protects all your most critical Active Directory objects, including users, groups, OUs, configuration, and group policies, including their settings and links. And from the same solution, you can also verify your vital intra-ID data, including users, app registrations, and conditional access policies that can be recovered in case of inadvertent changes or malicious attack. Backup and recovery for Active Directory gives you complete visibility into all changes to your Active Directory and intra-ID estates, so you can quickly recover from any disaster you may encounter.

TL;DR

Commvault Cloud delivers infrastructure-free, SaaS-based protection for both on-premises Active Directory and Entra ID from a single unified platform with automatic updates.
Interactive comparison reports enable administrators to identify changes between backup points or against live AD, with direct object restoration to minimize downtime and accelerate recovery.
Attribute-level rollback capabilities protect against bulk changes caused by script errors or misconfigurations, allowing targeted recovery across hundreds of affected directory objects simultaneously.

Summary

This product demonstration showcases Commvault Cloud Backup and Recovery for Active Directory, a SaaS-delivered solution designed to protect both on-premises Active Directory and Entra ID environments without requiring backup infrastructure. The demo emphasizes Active Directory's continued relevance as a primary attack vector and the critical need for rapid recovery capabilities when identity data is deleted, changed, or corrupted. Key features highlighted include interactive comparison reports that allow administrators to compare directory states between two points in time or against live AD, granular search capabilities with attribute filters to locate specific objects like group policy objects, and direct restoration from comparison reports to accelerate recovery. The solution also addresses attribute-level disasters, such as PowerShell script errors that overwrite data across hundreds of objects, by providing an attribute-focused view that enables targeted rollback. Commvault Cloud protects essential Active Directory objects including users, groups, OUs, configuration, and group policies, while also securing Entra ID data such as users, app registrations, and conditional access policies from the same unified platform.
