I do have thoughts what could go wrong, but was wondering if someone has 
experience with this. Anyone? Anyone?

Subject: [ActiveDir] backup/restore of DCs with third party tool



Hi,

I was wondering if someone has any experience with "HP Openview Storage data 
Protector Manager" concerning the backup and restore of domain controllers.

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
