Authoritative domain controller restores

To simplify extensive disaster recovery processes, Zmanda supports authorative restores of active directory servers. In this process, settings are replicated from the restored domain controller to all other domain controllers in your enterprise network. This restore type is used in the scenarios when a single dc or all dcs have failed at the same time (for example, after a ransomware or virus attack) or a damaged ntds.Dit database is replicated across a domain.
