I'm sure you've figured this out on your own, but just in case, you're
right... AD is part of the system state and even if you CAN back up
NTDS.DIT 'separately' as a file, you shouldn't. You need the system
state to do any kind of restore operation in Dir Svcs Restore Mode.
So b/c you can't do anything with it, so you're wasting time, tape, and
who knows what else. Don't get too caught up in why you can or can't
see it or can or can't (de)select it...
Instead (something COOL and not publicized enough) -- test your DC
restore process on a 2K3 SP1 machine and check out the LDIF file that
Auth Restore creates for you to help make restoring group memberships
MUCH easier!!!! COOL! <grin and off the subject, but cool...>
