In-Depth Information
Key Terms
authoritative restore A method of restoring Active Directory data from a backup to ensure
that restored objects aren't overwritten by changes from other domain controllers through
replication.
data collector set A Performance Monitor object used to create a baseline of performance
data; can contain performance counters, counter alerts, event traces, and system configuration
information.
nonauthoritative restore A method of restoring Active Directory data from a backup that
restores the database, or portions of it, and allows the data to be updated through replication
by other domain controllers.
offline defragmentation Defragmentation of the Active Directory database that also
compacts the database to improve performance. The Active Directory service must be stopped
before offline defragmentation can occur.
online defragmentation Defragmentation of the Active Directory database that removes
deleted objects and frees up space in the database but doesn't compact the database. Online
defragmentation occurs automatically when Active Directory performs garbage collection.
tombstone lifetime A period of time in which deleted Active Directory objects are marked
for deletion but left in the database. When the tombstone lifetime expires, the object is
removed during garbage collection.
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) A backup option that allows a volume to be backed up
even while the volume is in use and files are being modified.
Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) A boot option available on the Windows Server
2008 installation DVD or by pressing F8 when the system boots; allows restoring Windows
after a disk crash or similar catastrophic failure.
