DSGuardian - Directory recovery at the speed of your business !

Specialized Data Recovery solution for your LDAP recovery

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. 

Flexible Recovery Options: recover as much as the entire tree or as little as a single object or attribute 

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.

Maximum IT efficiency with streamlined backup and recovery 

Quick and easy directory recovery. DSGuardian simplifies the recovery process, allowing you to strengthen your current disaster recovery plan without overextending your IT resources. For your ease, DSGuardian highlights all changes since last or selected recovery points.

• Backs up and recovers directory files and objects, including the referential links between objects such as control lists, security equivalencies, group memberships, etc. 
  
  
• Eliminates time-consuming tasks, such as the manual recreation of links or having to search for backup tape(s). 
  
  
• Recovers encrypted information, thereby making the recovery process completely transparent to the end-user. 

Centralized, automated backup 

DSGuardian allows the administrator to schedule and automate the backup which, in turn, lowers the cost and the complexity of IT management while giving you peace of mind. The historical backup repository gives you an unrivalled level of change control allowing you to easily restore a deleted object back to a previous stage. Multiple sites can be backed up to a previous state. Multiple sites can be backed up to a central location, meaning that DSGuardian can be scales seamlessly to meet a deployment of any size.
