Best Practice - BAcking UP Active Directory on 2008 R2 and above using Windows System Backup

I have been reading a link (see below ) concerning the Windows System Backup in relation to Backing/restoring the Active Directory on a DC.
Trying to find a simple document or overview of Best practice to apply to a Domain Controller to cover backup/restore
