Using the new Microsoft Windows Server 2003 services of Volume Shadow Copy Service and Virtual Disk Service, it is now possible to recover failed Microsoft Active Directory servers in minutes rather than the hours that previous recovery methods required. This paper supplies a fast recovery demonstration designed to enable system administrators to implement fast recovery solutions in their own Active Directory environments.

Also which is better, Raid 5 or mirror sets for Shadow Copy?

I've been using it for a year now wo any problems. I store all the snapshots on a dedicated set of mirrored drives. Between shadow copy and a long retention time for undelete, I have't restored anything from tape in a very long time.
