Simplifying Active Directory Backup: A Modern Approach to Data Protection

In today's complex IT landscape, protecting Active Directory (AD) data shouldn't require jumping through hoops. Yet many organizations still struggle with cumbersome backup processes that drain resources and leave room for error. Let's explore how modern solutions are transforming this critical task.
