I have something that is bugging me and maybe someone on this list knows. I have two 2003 DCs. DC1 has 3 drives C, D and E. I installed the database on E and the logs on D. On DC2 on a different site, it has 2 drives C and D. I installed the database on D and the logs on C with the OS.
I am doing an all drives backup of both DCs with NTBACKUP on Sundays, separate from the daily System States. On DC1, I can drill down on the E drive and see NTDS.DIT file selected and I can chose to unselect it if I want. On DC2, I also see the E drive selected, however when I drill down I can NOT select the NTDS.DIT file and other files on the NTDS directory. I've read that the database is part of the System State backup and that it can not be backed up or restored individually. If that's the case I would expect to see the same kind of thing on both DCs. Anyone know why this is?
