Backing up System State and Active Directory
Active Directory is included within the System State application object in SonicWALL CDP 6.0
and higher. When creating a System State application object, you can select components,
including Active Directory, to back up. This allows you to backup and recover Active Directory
revisions from agent machines together with interdependent system files to provide a
consistent environment.
Note
System State and Active Directory cannot be backed up from the Web Management
Interface. Use the Agent User Interface to configure System State and Active Directory for
backup.
