Backup????

by morpheushk . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

Hi,
Call me an amateur, but in the backup scenario, I am kinda weak and I beg your assistance. We have 2 Domain Controllers (Windows 2000)for 2 different Domains. I did not have an Additional DC for neither networks, coz of management issues, (the dreaded problem of every Tech Support Guy). I used to take backup (using NT Backup) of the DCs, including system state.

As my luck would have it, the DC crashed. I tried to restore it from my backup. But for some strange reason, I was unable to restore the AD from the backup. I had to re-create the entire user list and computer accounts.

Can someone please shed some light on the proper backup procedure, so that I (probably someone else too) dont face this issue in the future?
