I like using the built-in tools to perform system state backups to a remote location and then using the TSM client to backup those files to the TSM server. For me, it meets two goals: No third-party software on the domain controller Guaranteed support from Microsoft (not "best effort") since I used their tools for backup and recovery I do not suggest that TSM's system state backup of a domain controller doesn't work. I just don't want even the possibility of a finger pointing contest when I need to recover Active Directory.

Would a restore of Active Directory work? I have read conflicting views on this - some say it would not work yet others say it has worked for them, while others say that they use another tool to backup Active Directory and then use TSM to backup those backup files.
