How Often Should You Back Up Active Directory? Daily or Weekly?

Tags: Google

Hi Tech Republic Community,

I’m curious about best practices for backing up Active Directory (AD). How frequently do you back up your AD? Is it generally recommended to perform daily backups, or is a weekly schedule sufficient?

From my understanding, many admins prefer daily backups to minimize data loss and ensure they can recover from any issues quickly. They often utilize built-in Windows tools or third-party solutions for this purpose, with cloud storage being a popular choice for added security and reliability.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this. How often do you back up your AD, and do you use any specific tools or strategies?

Looking forward to your insights!

Best regards,
William

Depends on your needs.

My needs are not your needs. Some will have real time mirroring since any loss can create FINANCIAL LOSS.

Only you and your C-Suite can make this call.
