Well explained. I don't have any replica for my AD because It's just for a particular application that required one and it's totally independent (HA not needed, it's just for data security). Domain management for my users is done on another system. Restore will be only from scratch. I tried a restore it worked well even without restoring the System State. I will keep the System State for a while, do many restore retries and if it works I will only use VSS.
