I want to be able to backup my whole drive (the master boot record, all partitions with files) so I can restore the whole server from scratch but it will be like nothing happened because all user accounts will still have the same id and stuff.
If NT Backup can do this and all I have to do is install an operating system to restore all the partitions and active directory without doing much then i'm in!
If you wouldn't mind sharing a backup script then I'm interested in seeing it :-)
Thanks Ken!

For a small site (no more than a few servers) NTBackup is plenty adequate. 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.

I need some real good articles that tell me step by step how to backup active directory and RESTORE with software to another drive or something because I almost had a crash right now and company is too cheap to invest in a reliable backup solution or consulting :-\
Please help!
Thanks
