What makes you think that going from Win2K server to Advanced Server is going to improve performance?

If the server is a domain controller, you can user the backup wizard that is in teh system tools. run teh wizard and select the third option which is "back up system state" this will backup active directory, certificate services, com configuration,the only thing you will ned to backup on your own would be the shared directories. you can run the qizard for that too. good luck
