Summary


Since Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 is not just one product but a family of products, troubleshooting and disaster recovery will vary a lot, depending on which part you're dealing with. The backup strategy will, in most cases, involve both automated backups as well as manual ones, as part of the configuration process.

In this chapter, I have given you some hints on how to troubleshoot common errors in FIM and how to perform backup and restore of the critical parts of FIM.
