I checked my 5.11 client and noticed the same thing. I have been doing a lot of bare metal restores and the AD database is definitely being backed up and restored.
I would expect the ntds.dit to show up in the log also. If I use the GUI to backup the AD database, I do see NTDS.DIT being processed.

I see the following lines: 07/21/2002 06:59:12 Normal File--> 10,485,760 \\nadc5\d$\WINNT\NTDS\edb0 0574.log SentY 07/21/2002 07:00:10 Normal File--> 10,485,760 \\nadc5\d$\WINNT\NTDS\edb0 0575.log SentY 07/21/2002 07:00:10 Normal File--> 16,384 \\nadc5\c$\WINNT\NTDS\ntds .pat SentY 07/21/2002 07:00:11 Successful incremental backup of 'Windows NT Directory Serv ices' But I do not see a line for ntds.dit. Should I not be seeing this also? The client is at level 5.1.01 and the server is 4.2.1.9 Thanks len ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard Boyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] SAS Institute Inc. ussas4hs@ibmmail Room RB448 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 SAS Campus Drive (919) 531-6241 Cary NC 27513
