You've misunderstood the suggestion.
You've been advised to restore a recent backup (one made since the problem

backups complete successfully, perhaps the backup does not contain the

It sounds like the reality for the customer is a new Active Directory

I may actually be able to get my grubby little hands on a backup that predates

You only have one functional DC, and no useful historical backups. You
might want to know if the one you have can be restored, and, if perchance
