The Backup or Restore Wizard starts by default, unless it is disabled. You can use this wizard, or click the Advanced Mode link to work in advanced mode.

Click the Restore and Manage Media tab.

In the details pane, select the ADAM instance that you want to restore by selecting the check box to the left of the folder that represents the ADAM instance that you want to restore.

In Restore files to, click Original location.

On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Restore tab, click Always replace the file on my computer, and then click OK.

Click Start Restore.

After the restore is complete, close Backup.

Open an ADAM tools command prompt.

At the command prompt, type:

where instancename represents the service name of the ADAM instance on which you want to restore data.

At the dsdbutil: prompt, type:

authoritative restore

At the authoritative restore: prompt, type one of the commands in the following table.

If it is running, stop the ADAM instance for which data will be restored.

Restart the ADAM instance.

Using the Active Directory Application Mode Setup Wizard or an ADAM unattended install, create an ADAM instance, specifying the same settings that you used during your original ADAM installation. However, do not create an application directory partition during setup.

Stop the ADAM instance you just created, as follows:

1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
   
   
2. In Services, right-click the ADAM instance, and then click Stop.

2. In Services, right-click the ADAM instance, and then click Stop.
   
   

On one of the remaining ADAM instances in the configuration set, delete the server object that represents the ADAM instance that you want to restore, as follows:

1. Open an ADAM tools command prompt.
   
   
2. At the command prompt, type dsmgmt.
   
   
3. At the dsmgmt: prompt, type metadata cleanup.
   
   
4. At the metadata cleanup: prompt, type select operation target.
   
   
5. At the select operation target: prompt, type connections.
   
   
6. At the server connections: prompt, type connect to servercomputername:portnumber, where computername:portnumber represents the ADAM instance to which you are connecting.
   
   
7. At the server connections: prompt, type q.
   
   
8. At the select operation target: prompt, type list sites, and identify the number corresponding to the site in which the server object that you want to delete resides.
   
   
9. At the select operation target: prompt, type select site n, where n represents the number that is identified in the previous step.
   
   
10. Type list servers in site, and identify the full distinguished name (also known as DN) of the server whose server object you want to delete.
    
    
11. At the select operation target: prompt, type q.
    
    
12. At the metadata cleanup: prompt, type q.
    
    
13. At the dsmgmt: prompt, type q.
    
    
14. At the command prompt, type dsmgmt.
    
    
15. At the dsmgmt: prompt, type metadata cleanup.
    
    
16. At the metadata cleanup: prompt, type remove selected serverservernameoncomputername:portnumber
    
    where servername represents the distinguished name of the server object that you want to remove and computername:portnumber represents the Domain Name System (DNS) name of the ADAM instance to which you are connecting.
    
    
17. Click Yes to confirm the deletion of the server object.
    
    
18. In addition, you must delete the server object from the sites container:
    
    CN=Servers, CN=sitename, CN=Sites, CN=Configuration, CN={GUID}
    
    where sitename represents the name of the site in which the server object exists, and GUID represents the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the ADAM instance.
    
    

When you complete the previous steps, install an ADAM replica from media.
