RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Backup

[Jorge de Almeida Pinto]

Hi Sergio,   You can use whatever tool that's Windows 2000/2003 compliant to backup Active Directory. Windows 2000/2003 itself has NTBACKUP that gives you the possibility to backup to TAPE or FILE. To backup Active Directory you must at a minimum backup the SYSTEM STATE (I always also backup the system drive -> drive with the WINDOWS dir).   See also the following resources for more info on this: * http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/technologies/activedirectory/maintain/opsguide/part1/adogd03.mspx (Active Directory Operations Guide - Active Directory Backup and Restore) * http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/ebooks/administeringad/Index.cfm (chapter 6)   Cheers Jorge From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sergio Sánchez Trujillo Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 10:50 To: 'ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org' Subject: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Backup Hello,   Could i do a backup of the Active Directory? How?   We have a tape library backup and ARCServer Software Backup... but it's not necessary to use this library.   Thanks   Sergio Sánchez This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
