Great Product, I have just made the purchase! I am going to be running this on a 2003 server with active Directory, what steps are necessary in order to backup Active Directory? Is it just the registry?
Thanks

The location of the Active Directory can be found under the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters
If the default parameters were used when setting up the Active Directory then the Active Directory is under the Windows Directory \NTDS, e.g. C:\WINDOWS\NTDS
The Registry must be backed up at the same time.
Search Google for ‘Backing up active directory’ and chose Microsoft’s entry for a detailed explanation.
