If you're going to do disaster recovery testing and rebuilding your domain off-site and the off-site location doesn't have a compatible tape drive, what's the best way to get your domain rebuilt? We use BackupExec normally, but in this case I am guessing you could just use NTBackup and could you back it up to a CD? Then do your authoritative restore, so you don't have to worry about tapes?

Schedule NTBackup to run nightly and back up to a workstation's hard disk via a share (assuming you have a workstation with a large enough drive[1]). If you want to get fancy, you can write a batch file to drive NTBackup, grep through the log file for errors, and email a report. I can give you an example script if you like.
