NBU BAR search for Active Directory GRT

Hello together,

is it possible to search for AD objects in NetBackup BAR with GRT enabled backups?

We are using NetBackup 7.6.0.4 and the AD is running on Windows Server 2012.

Yes.

See http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO105642
Restoring Active Directory objects

If you are experiencing issues, go through the URLs at the bottom of above page.

Bear in mind that the backup must be on disk in order to browse.
If backup was duplicated to tape and disk copy expired, you will have to duplicate back to disk.

Thanks for your answer Marianne!

Browsing the AD in the BAR was clear to me.

My question is, if it is possible to use the search tool from BAR under "Actions/Search Backups..." to find AD objects!
