Abstract
A system and method for performing a granular restore of data objects from a directory service is disclosed. In one embodiment, at the time a backup of the directory services database is performed, a metadata file with index values for some data objects is created. The metadata file may include an index of the name and an object identifier for each included data object. During granular restore of one or more data objects selected for restoration, the corresponding object identifier is retrieved from the metadata file using the name of the data object. The object identifier is then used to restore the data object in the directory service.
