Hello Experts,

I need to know what needs to be done to COMPLETELY backup an NT 4 PDC/BDC.  I guess we have an old NT4 domain for something and I'm doing a backup audit.  

Can I just schedule an rdisk /s to copy the registry/SAM, and then use any old backup agent to pick up all files on the system drive?  Is that sufficient, or are there other components that require a "special" type of backup?

How Do I Backup an NT 4 PDC/BDC?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
