Backup domain controller with Backup exec 2010
I am very new to backing up a domain controller and new to backup exec. I have backup exec 2010 and would like to be able to back up the active directory. If all four of my domain controllers get wiped I would like to be able to restore the active directory. Can you help me with this?

Thanks
Roccat - I forgot to mention one thing about AD backup. There's also an option in BE to use "GRE" (Granular Recovery). This is another add-on option that you may or may not have. If you do have it, you should definitely use it to back up AD. It will allow you to recover individual items in AD (i.e., user accounts, etc.) rather than having to do a full AD recovery if you have a problem.
