With NTBACKUP and third party backup/restore tools I have worked with until now to backup/restore a DC you needed to select the system state which contains the following components: * "COM+ Class Registration database" (always included) * "Boot files including the system files" (always included) * "Certificate Services database" (only for certificate services server) * "Active Directory directory service" (only for directory server) * "SYSVOL structure" (only for directory server) * "Cluster service information" (only for cluster server) * "IIS Metabase" (only for IIS server) Microsoft defined the system state as the collection of these components and during backup or restore it was always an all-or-nothing selection. Of course there is a good reason for that as several components interact/work with each other. However, with "HP Openview Storage data Protector Manager" the possibility exists to select individual components of the system state during backup or restore. I wonder what the impact is of restoring individual components of the system state (not all) (e.g. only AD without SYSVOL and registry, etc.) Can anyone elaborate on that? Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you! Cheers, jorge Met vriendelijke groeten / Kind regards, Ing.
