Blackbird recovery defends against those unpredictable issues that can bring your daily business operations to a grinding halt. This advanced Active Directory restore solution represents a new gold standard in Identity and Access protection, providing immediate online restoration – no matter the source of the problem. With Blackbird recovery, users and critical resources are brought back online in minutes, and not hours typical with other recovery solutions. And Blackbird recovery is the only solution to support a continuous change log, allowing administrators to instantly view and roll back any unwanted changes right up to the point of the error. There’s no easier, or safer, way to ensure the continuous availability of the applications and access rights your organization depends on each day.

• Minimize productivity and revenue loss caused by disasters and accidental deletions in your identity and access infrastructure.
• Improve IT efficiency through centralized, automated functions
• Online, granular restore to minimize impact to end users
• Continuous object recovery for unmatched level of change control

With Blackbird recovery, repair is just a few clicks away. This powerful Active Directory backup and recovery solution ensures that users and critical resources are brought back online in minutes. Unlike other AD recovery tools that rely on scheduled backups, Blackbird recovery features a continuous change log, so you can roll an object back to any previous state right up to the point in time of the error. As a result, you no longer need to worry about losing any changes made by users, administrators, and helpdesk staff since the last backup (which could have been last night or last week). This advanced approach for recovering Active Directory can save hours of manual labor to recreate the lost changes.

Blackbird protector lets you set volume-based and object-based change control. Prevent unauthorized changes to the most critical objects – such as the accidental deletion of Organizational Units (OUs) by users or a meta-directory solution. And volume-based directories protect against inappropriate changes that could impact a large number of users – such as protecting an OU from any AD change that would delete more than 100 user objects.
