My response would suggest that we have a tape or set of tapes somewhere that we can restore to new hardware, even if it means building a new domain and joining each machine to the domain. A previous employer had their SBS server crash. I had help rebuilding it and had to rejoin each machine (about a dozen in that case) to the domain. It was a lot of work, but I got it done. At that point, they did not have a backup, so they lost pretty much everything and had to start from scratch. I'm trying to prevent that.
I think maybe I'll start by looking at getting a tape library so we can at least back up what we have, and possibly do a bare-metal restore.
