# Active Directory & Entra ID Recovery

![](/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/form-bg.png)

###### Identity Resilience | Self-Guided Tour

## Restore Identity Fast. Recover Access Cleanly

Take a self-guided tour of a real Active Directory attack scenario — see a compromised AD forest recovered, and granular identity restored in minutes.

- Review forest topology before recovery starts
- Recover an entire Active Directory forest with guided runbooks and isolated recovery workflows
- Bring users back faster with granular recovery for deleted or damaged users, groups, and attributes
- Unify resilience across Active Directory and Entra ID from a single control plane

## Identity Recovery Workflows

See how Commvault helps teams recover forest-level identity services, validate them cleanly, and restore critical users faster across hybrid identity environments.

---

## Topology-Aware Visibility

Visual forest topology surfaces important information about your AD architecture so you can identify critical roles, restore the right domain controllers first, and bring identity services back with less guesswork.

## Automated Forest-Level Recovery

Recover an entire compromised Active Directory forest using guided runbooks and parallel domain controller rebuilds in an isolated recovery environment, cutting recovery time to hours.

---

## Granular User-Level Recovery

Restore deleted or modified users, groups, and object attributes directly from the backup directory tree in minutes, without needing a full AD restore.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Why does identity resilience matter so much during a cyber incident?

When identity systems are compromised, employees cannot log in, authentication fails, applications become unreachable, and SLA pressure escalates fast. Identity resilience helps organizations restore access quickly, reduce downtime, and recover cleanly before reconnecting production users and systems.

What is Forest-Level Recovery in Commvault?

Forest-Level Recovery automates the rebuild of a compromised Active Directory forest using guided runbooks and parallel domain controller recovery in an isolated environment, reducing recovery time from days to hours.

Can Commvault recover specific users and groups without a full restore?

Yes. Commvault supports granular recovery for deleted or damaged Active Directory users and groups, so administrators can bring back critical identities quickly without restoring the entire environment.

Can Commvault protect both Active Directory and Entra ID?

Yes. Commvault provides unified identity resilience for both on-premises Active Directory and cloud-based Entra ID, managed from a single control plane for consistent hybrid identity protection and recovery management.

How does Commvault help validate identity recovery before users are let back in?

Commvault can stage recovery in an isolated recovery environment, so teams can validate restored identity services before reintroducing user access. This helps reduce the risk of bringing compromised conditions back into production.
